Ah. Is this documented anywhere on the Web site? I don't see it
anywhere in <URL:http://www.cygwin.com/setup.html>, which would seem
like a logical place for it.
If whoever owns this page agrees that this would be a logical place,
I'll volunteer to write the text to document the functionality. Let
me know.
