We've already mentioned that we need help improving our documentation.
The documentation at the Cygwin site should, in a perfect world, contain
what a user needs and there should be no need to go to google for
information. So, rather than invent some convention to make it easy
to look up things in google, we really should be updating the words
available on the cygwin site.
