Subject: Finding man pages

"man" has become as useless as me at finding man pages.  I've tried 

1. man man
2. export MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/local/man; man man
3. man -M /usr/man man
4. checked that man.conf exists in c:\cygwin\lib

only to be rebuffed with the reply "No manual entry for man"

I've even checked that /usr/man/man1/man.1 is readable using the
"woman" mode in NTemacs.

Where do I go from here? (terse and unprintable files will be filtered).
