Sure. I'll do my best, though to warn you I use cygwin almost exclusively in
user-land and am not very intimate with the internals. I do have the source, 
though. I also thought it'd be good to push people to the (docbook-generated)
website to there's a single point to update.

I think Chuck said something about a tool for docbook->texinfo. I'll see about
that. Er. After doing this. And getting the doctool stuff and figuring out how
to compile it.

Or do you mean just for the packaging?
