In the context of some of the earlier posts in this thread, can I 
suggest that the wording is a little less daunting to those not familiar 
with nuix/cygwin. OK, so "Build database (makewhatis) of man page short 
descriptions for 'whatis' & 'apropos'" may be technically correct, but 
wouldn't something like this be more "helpful":

   Optional tasks - (may take many minutes!)
     [ ] Build help index (used by 'whatis' and 'apropos' commands)
     [ ] Build file index (used by 'locate' command)

R.
