Here I agree with David, I think the installer under `cygwin` should
look in `/usr/bin` and not the windows PATH.

.`curl` (as well as `bsdtar`) are installed by default in win10
versions (since build 17063) and in all win11, and while it was my
fault for not reading the documentation where it explicitly says that I
should install `wget`, maybe it would be useful to be more restrictive
and return an error message when `wget/curl` is not found under cygwin
(although maybe a binary can be provided for this as it is done for
other platforms).

Anyway here is the requested output
