Terrence,

Most packages come with a Cygwin-specific readme that should be in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/pkgname-ver.README.  Older packages may still have
it in /usr/doc/Cygwin/pkgname-ver.README, so check both places when in
doubt.  The Cygwin-specific readme will either tell you what you need to
know, or will refer you to the location of the upstream README (which is
also installed on your system, usually in /usr/{share/,}doc/pkgname-ver/.
