I'm confused.  How does this differ from mkvers.sh?  What kind of
version information is being looked for that is not already in
cygwin1.dll?  Are you talking about adding something in the version
fields of the DLL itself?

FWIW, the command "grep '%% ' cygwin1.dll" should display all sorts of
interesting stuff.  Adding this to cygcheck is one of those round tuit
type of things.
