Most of the packages you listed pre-date the /usr/doc/Cygwin 
requirement.  In an ideal world, the next release of each would then 
follow this new requirement -- but this isn't an ideal world. :-P *New* 
packages, however, should follow this convention -- and tetex probably 
should, as well, even though it isn't exactly new.  Whgy?  Because from 
this outsider's perspective, it sure seems like tetex needs lots of 
tweaking and TLC to build on Cygwin -- and those tweaks should be 
documented...
