Most of the packages you listed pre-date the /usr/doc/Cygwin requirement. In an ideal world, the next release of each would then follow this new requirement -- but this isn't an ideal world. :-P *New* packages, however, should follow this convention -- and tetex probably should, as well, even though it isn't exactly new. Whgy? Because from this outsider's perspective, it sure seems like tetex needs lots of tweaking and TLC to build on Cygwin -- and those tweaks should be documented... --Chuck
