I doubt there's a utility that'd tell you that. At a guess, if you only
want to distinguish between these two versions, you should be able to call
"strings" on an executable from the package and look at the bottom for
functions added in Cygwin 1.5, but that's only going to tell you if the
package is using new functionality or not.
