While I agree that all except the middle example mean about the same, the one ending in "anyhow" doesn't seem to fit the mold.
I'm accustomed to hearing "anyhow" and "anyway" after a plan has failed, or or in response to a disparaging remark, or at the end of an angry, critical remark.
Where were you last night? [argument follows] It's none of your business anyway/
