  Hm.  When you installed, did you choose the "Just for me" option?  And perhaps
at sometime afterward rename your username?  It might straighten things out a
bit if you reinstall "For all users".

  That's almost certainly a red herring: it's a false alarm that you get when
you run cygcheck in the /bin directory.  You needn't worry about it, I don't
think.

  Standard advice at the moment for anyone with setup troubles is "First install
everything you want but for X, then run setup again to install the X packages"

  WJM!
