 A good enhancement IMO... though;

 I can imagine a situation where someone is trying to automate a thing or
two in cygwin (likely to be postinstall/preremove only?), using cygcheck...
[Workaround: Create output of cygcheck and 'grep' it instead?]

Already two calls, an extra minute (or two, read below), might tend to
"enfuriate" an impatient user (e.g. me! ;-).

NOTE:
 This would undoubtedly lead to questions like "cygwin install froze! Why?"
on this list.

[ cygcheck -c   on W2K 450MHz PII -> about 1 minute]
