Thank you for your report.

I don't think it's a good idea to add "c:/cygwin/usr/share/info/" to
the default directory list, since we cannot be sure that Cygwin is
installed on the C: drive.  What if it's installed on D: or F:?

In sum, I think this is for users to customize, not for Emacs to set
by default.  And Info-default-directory-list is precisely the variable
to customize.
