To answer the question: "Which package brought in this file?" as in:

$ cd /etc/setup
$ str=gcc.exe
$ for pkg in *.gz; do

zcat $pkg | grep -q $str
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo $str appears in $pkg
fi
done

% cygcheck -f /bin/gcc.exe
gcc-3.3.1-3

(Insert your best Johnny Carson voice here) "I did not know that!".


And I looked but I just missed it I guess...
