Well, the problem is that you're checking in HKLM first.  You should
check the HKCU key first since this would override the existing same
key in HKLM.  Probably it would be nice(tm) if cygcheck reports
always both keys if they both exist and print some warning about this
(hmm, I'm musing if it makes sense to print a suggestion to drop the
HKCU key in that case...)
