And a new FAQ entry!

I will add something to the FAQ about this.  I don't build Cygwin from
source myself, so I can't determine what's missing.  If someone can
tell me what *additional* packages and tools are required (i.e., not
part of cygwin/latest), I can identify them in the FAQ.

Thanks,
David
