Other distros e.g. Debian, aren't as quick on the updates, so no help there. Fedora provides even less than previous Cygwin, and less than I want to, so I will go ahead with my choices of small, general docs in the base package, and include all docs and example code in the -doc package, this release. Anyone downstream should feel free to pipe up with comments or suggestions. -- Take care.
