That's a good idea.  There's already a IPv6-related paragraph in the UG:

  http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/highlights.html#ov-hi-sockets

I added a new FAQ entry now:

  http://cygwin.com/1.7/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.ipv6

Feel free to send patches if you think that's not enough info.


Thanks,
