See top. So does:

	https://cygwin.com/git/?p=cygwin-htdocs.git;f=faq/faq.html

get generated from:

https://cygwin.com/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=winsup/doc/faq-what.xml

which is where I should be making FAQ patches?
I was looking around for FAQ files and this connection between cygwin-doc and
cygwin-htdocs was not obvious.
