Where does "watch" come from? It's not on my cygwin installation:

> 16:12:50$ type watch
> -bash: type: watch: not found

and when I enter "watch" in the installer Search window, all it shows me is

> xfce-mailwatch-plugin: Xfce mail watcher panel plugin
and
> xfce-mailwatch-plugin-debuginfo: Debug info for xfce4-mailwatch-plugin
