Here's some suggested text to insert at the start of 
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC23 (Where's the documentation?)
(I thought about putting links to "file:///usr/doc" and so in there, but 
the chance of anyone using a Cygwin built browser (Lynx, any others?) are 
minimal.)

         If you have installed Cygwin, you can find lots of
         documentation in /usr/doc/.  Many packages ship
         with standard documentation, you can find this in a
         directory /usr/doc/package_name.  In addition, some
         packages have Cygwin specific instructions in a
         file /usr/doc/Cygwin/package_name.README.

Sorry, no patch, but if needed I could make one.  (Let me know if.)

Another idea (without patch):
Perhaps setup.exe could create one or two new shortcuts (in Programs/Cygwin 
Solutions, next to Cygwin Bash Shell) that point to "/usr/doc" and perhaps 
"/usr/doc/Cygwin"?  They wouldn't be of much use for most of us, but 
perhaps some beginners will see this before posting to this list.

     I always wondered about the meaning of life.   So I looked it
     up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
     of life.  It was not what I expected.                  - Dogbert
