You manage the manual install by using tlmgr to add/remove/update 
collections or individual CTAN packages whenever you want.  The distro 
install is not intended to be used with tlmgr.  It provides one package 
for each TeX Live collection, which will be updated periodically (by 
me).  You could probably figure out how to make the Cygwin install use 
some of the files from your manual install by setting TEXINPUTS 
appropriately.  See

for some hints.
