Documentation for Windows users

[Will Sheppard]

Why doesn't the Cygwin installation put a readme file in its root directory, directing users to the documentation on the website?
Or even better - actually install the documentation in a format easily acessible to people who have only used Windows their whole lives.

This seems to be a problem affecting most ports of software to Windows - the binaries are there, but not usable by people
with no knowledge of Unix systems.

Also, would it really be that difficult to include a GUI to some of these programs, such as the C compiler? It really would
make them so much easier to use for Windows users. Surely the ultimate OS would combine the power and stability of Unix
with the user-interface of Windows...

Or am I totally missing the point here?
