Ken, thanks for that pointer: I'll check there; and in future.
Other distros e.g. Debian, aren't as quick on the updates, so no help there.

Fedora provides even less than previous Cygwin, and less than I want to, so I
will go ahead with my choices of small, general docs in the base package, and
include all docs and example code in the -doc package, this release.

Anyone downstream should feel free to pipe up with comments or suggestions.
