Consider these messages:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00088.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00091.html
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00094.html

They make it clear that cygcheck is a windows program.  So, since
cygcheck doesn't use cygwin1.dll to translate the time zone,
/usr/share/zoneinfo is irrelevant.

If you are trying to gain clarification on how the Cygwin DLL does
timezone translation then please don't hijack this thread for that.
Start a new one.
