I would consider packaging libacl unless it is Linux dependent if there is any 
Cygwin use case?

Otherwise, I would consider creating a new man-pages-extra package, including 
libacl, and any other package man pages where the package is not part of Cygwin, 
but the API is?

These man pages are available at man7.org as part of what Michael Kerrisk makes 
available online as part of Linux man pages:

	https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_by_project.html

Has anyone a feel if there are any other projects on that list whose man pages 
would be useful under Cygwin even if the package itself is not available, or 
even individual man pages where they are not currently available?
