Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Cygwin/XFree86 DocBook-based FAQ draft

["edward" <tailbert at yahoo dot com>]

Just FYI, it *is* possible to build the docs on cygwin. I had it set up a
while back when i posted some sgml patches (most likely to
cygwin@cygwin.com). I have a new machine, so when I get the docs working
I'll post what I did.

cheers,
edward
