I'm going to have to leave this for the maintainers of Cygwin documentation to
answer since I don't know DocBook stuff.

My basic understanding is that if you use DocBook, you can get from

been to get DocBook working under Cygwin, so Linux has been a
requirement to get the documentation generated, as a result. But
things may have changed here.
