The purpose of cygcheck is to determine what has been installed on your
system.

It's hard to conceive of a situation where you ran setup.exe, it seemed
to successfully install the package, and nothing showed up in /bin.

If I had to guess, I'd say that you had just installed the -src packages
somehow and not the binary, possibly by clicking on the source column
and not on the "Skip" column when you ran setup.exe.

I don't know if there is a problem with cygcheck.exe where it is reporting
a binary package being installed when it isn't, but that's my educated
guess.
