I'm aiming for the same look and feel as the rest of the XFree86/cygwin
site. That is: if we move it here, we should move it on the other site
pages as well. Currently it derives nicely off the Cygwin home page too,
which is good. I'm open to discussion on this though :]

Uhmm, yes. Thats one of my "mostly" caveats.

So a summary toc, and then a per top level question toc ? That should be
doable... I don't have an opinion on that one way or another just yet.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
