There is no "which" command with Cygwin. However, you can use the bash
shell builtin "type" which does something similar.
+@subsection Why isn't package XXXX available in Cygwin? (Or, why is your package so out of date?)
+
+Probably because there is nobody willing or able to maintain it. It
+takes time, and the priority for the Cygwin Team is the Cygwin package.
+The rest is a volunteer effort. Want to contribute? See below.

@subsection How can I access other drives?
You have some flexibility here.
