Hi
I would like to suggest that cygcheck file should know about symlinks
i.e.
$ ls -la `which xmgrace`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administratör Användare 32 Jul 18 16:37 /usr/bin/xmgrace ->
/usr/share/grace/bin/xmgrace.exe*

$ cygcheck xmgrace  # now gives
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\xmgrace.exe
C:/cygwin/bin/xmgrace.exe

$ cygcheck xmgrace  # Suggested behaviour
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\xmgrace.exe
which is a symlink to /usr/share/grace/bin/xmgrace.exe

Or something like that
