What would you expect to find in a cygwin doc package other than
documentation about cygwin?  It's also listed in the info dir file, just
like all other info documentation on cygwin or any other UNIX-like
system.  Just typing 'info' shows you what cygwin doc info is available.

And please don't tell me that there needs to be a a README pointing
people at info...
