OK, that would work. Is 'additional-docs' a standard place for this, or would something else like 'CYGWIN-EXTRAS' (easy to find next to CYGWIN-PATCHES) also be okay? > Maybe the best way to handle this would be a separate package with the > manuals and, if available, with the documents source in a src package. I'll look into this. Maybe more trouble than it's worth, or maybe not. Thanks, Andrew.
