I concede some may not think to look for documentation in the Cygwin
installation tree at all.  Certainly for them, there may be some value 
in having additional pointers to there, although I wonder if it will be
enough to get everyone to look there (I kind of doubt it).  Still, 
there's probably no reason not to try.  Anything that promotes self-help
and more browsing for existing information is a good thing.
