The Apache server (httpd) can be started as a service on Windows NT/2000/XP
using cygrunsrv. The package itself contains a httpd binary in /usr/sbin and
can be started in either of the following ways

Installing snd starting on NT

$ cygrunsrv -I httpd -d "CYGWIN httpd" -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a '-k'

and to start it

$ cygrunsrv -S httpd

Plain running on Win9x (due to lack of a Service Manager)

$ apachectl start

There is a manual page installed with the package (try `man 8 httpd') and if
it doesn't work, ie. returns with "No manual entry for httpd" there's always
`/usr/sbin/httpd -h' as well as the package README in /usr/doc/Cygwin.
