Subject: problem with downloading and offline-viewing cygwin faq as one big html file and suggested solution

This is quite an old FAQ suggestion that I'm just looking at now.

As far as I can tell, this is now fixed.  That is, the section
references in "one big html file" are self contained and should work
when viewed offline.  This is probably because I started using a later
version of texi2html a while ago.  I didn't do anything intentionally
to fix this.

Ed, if you could check and see that I haven't overlooked something,
I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.

mvg,
David (Cygwin FAQ maintainer)
