1) install into /usr/local/* or /opt/<package>/* [see RFD #1] -- NEVER EVER touch ANYTHING under /usr/*. This includes cygwin-specific doco: it should go under /usr/local/doc/ /usr/local/doc/Cygwin/ if desired, and NOT /usr/doc/. Ditto --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc and NOT /etc. But cygwin-specific doco is not required for these ports.
