Is there a particular reason why Cygwin _doesn't_ use GNU which?  Are
there issues with GNU which on Cygwin that we should know about?

In any case, I found out that there were no man pages for Cygwin which,
and if I remember correctly, there was no which --help either.  GNU which has both.  Either would be nice, and anyway with help2man you don't have to make both manually.

Thanks for your help!
