Well, in end the something changed and cygcheck is working again

I download the "cygwin" sources and rebuilt the whole source tree.  Once 
confident that cygcheck.exe built, I then modified dump_setup.cc and 
slightly modified the 3 possible error messages I was seeing.  This way 
I can know which one was printing.  Then rebuilt.

When I started testing, I realized that I was picking up the installed 
version in /bin.  It started working again without me making any changes.

Since I did however downloaded the sources, the following files were 
touched:

-rw-r--r-- 1 paul root   301 Oct 25 16:59 base-files.lst.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul root 15528 Oct 25 17:02 installed.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 paul None    42 Oct 25 17:02 last-mirror
-rwxrwxrwx 1 paul None     0 Oct 25 17:02 last-extrakeys
-rwxrwxrwx 1 paul None     7 Oct 25 17:02 last-connection
-rwxrwxrwx 1 paul None    19 Oct 25 17:02 last-cache
-rwxrwxrwx 1 paul None    17 Oct 25 17:02 last-action

So just by downloading something, the problem went away  (Humm).  I 
can't explain this or reproduce it anymore
