Whatever fix is made, it would be great if cygcheck output the path of
symlinks it had to chase to get the executable.  Also, outputting "Not an
executable" for scripts and such would help.

BTW:
$ cygcheck vi
Error: could not find vi
$ ls -l /usr/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx  1 igor Users 7 Dec 20 18:21 /usr/bin/vi -> vim.exe
$ cygcheck awk
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\awk.exe
C:/cygwin/bin/awk.exe
$ ls -l /usr/bin/awk.exe
lrwxrwxrwx  1 igor Users 8 Nov 17 18:25 /usr/bin/awk.exe -> gawk.exe
