But On my system I have so contrived things that I have exactly one (yes promise and hope to die horribly) exactly one cygwin1.dll and there ain't nothing else at all, anywhere. Cygwin is not installed. The dll (latest issue 1.5.12 but not a snapshot) lives by itself with cygcheck.exe in a subdirectory. There is no mention of [cC]ygwin or [cC]ygnus anywhere in the registry. Moving to that subdirectory and typing cygcheck -s gives Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path in the output.
