As per your suggestion to add the extra docs to the nasm package, I have found that 
nasm requires AFPL ghostscript to build the pdf.  This package is not currently part 
of cygwin (although there is an old contrib that never made it here: 
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2002-10/msg00185.html ).

So my question is, is there a policy regarding relying on non-(official)cygwin 
packages for builds?  I can easily just add the pdf built on linux to the binary 
package, but this would mean that the source package will be incapable (under cygwin) 
of producing the binary.

The other option as Joshua suggested is to provide a separate docs package (which 
doesnt need a corresponding source).

Cheers,
Dean Scarff
