I'm going to have to leave this for the maintainers of Cygwin documentation to
answer since I don't know DocBook stuff.

question of how to get from Docbook to a format of my choice,

My basic understanding is that if you use DocBook, you can get from
one to the other. But I expect that's an incomplete/oversimplified
statement.
* If it's not documented, and you can give me even some vague
pointers, I'd be happy to write it up, if you think anybody
would be interested.
Wouldn't hurt in my opinion. IIRC, the biggest issue in the past has
been to get DocBook working under Cygwin, so Linux has been a
requirement to get the documentation generated, as a result. But
things may have changed here.
