ssh-host-config creates /etc/ssh_host_key*.

 From your cygcheck output:

  653k 2003/07/22 C:\Program Files\mysql\bin\cygwinb19.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
                  "cygwinb19.dll" v0.0 ts=1998/7/15 18:50

This will is trouble waiting to happen.  Get rid of this DLL and update
mysql as required.
