I first saw this in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-01/msg00411.html. It also fixes a couple of spelling errors. The second patch suggests .inputrc entries for Insert and Delete. The setup*sgml files seem pretty out of data. I also don't know where they might be published, so I don't know how useful the patch is.
