D'oh.  You're right.  It's when I need to go the *other* way that it 
must be done in a post-hook.  Here,
    /usr/share/doc/${PN} --> /usr/share/doc/${PN}-${PV}
works fine, because the target dir is the one cygport "likes".  In 
rxvt-unicode, the build package was "rxvt-unicode-X" so the directory 
cygport "likes" is /usr/share/doc/rxvt-unicode-X-${PV}.

However, I wanted to share the documentation between -X and -W versions, 
so I wanted to use /usr/share/doc/rxvt-unicode-${PV}. That is,
     /usr/share/doc/rxvt-unicode-X-${PV} -->
           /usr/share/doc/rxvt-unicode-${PV}
goes from cygport's preferred directory to some other dir.

If I did that inside src_install, __src_postinst will come along and put 
stuff into the directory it likes, instead of the one I carefully 
created -- and there is currently no way to override that.

So, I needed the hook for rxvt-unicode-X, but I was wrong in thinking I 
needed it here.  Sorry for the noise.
