  I do have it:
$ cygcheck -c cygwin
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.16-1       OK

  Someone wrote, off list, that I could have one, or more, missing
libraries.  He attached the output of 

    cygcheck $(which curl) 

on a working system.  I will have to check further.  It does looks
like there are missing libraries.
