Downgraded to 3.5.0-0.116.g8d318bf142f7.x86_64 and getting exactly the same 
postinstall and X/mintty/bash msg box errors:

	can't find zlib1.dll
	The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

Is cygcheck missing DLL search path
$CYGWIN_ROOT/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/?
