Cygwin setup versions are 1.5.17-1 and 1.5.15-1.

I have a screen shot of all the errors up if you want
to see that showing it on mhash.

If you state that /usr/share/mc/syntax/xml.syntax is
not in the mhash package then how, if I unselect the
mhash package, does it install just fine on both
versions?  I am not trying to question you, it is just
confusing to me.

Cygcheck, I have not used that to tell you the truth.

Just let me know what you need and I can try and get
it for you.
