In the Administrator's Guide, first section under Installation, it still
says
* To build on Windows NT or Windows 2000 you need the Cygwin and cygipc
packages. See the file doc/FAQ_MSWIN for details.
I suppose this is at least partly out of date, but what should it say
now?
Also, do we even still need the "Installation on Windows" section? Is
anyone still going to care about building the frontend tools that way?

Oh, I see this needs some major restructuring/relabeling. I am working
on that now.

Oops. I just committed. I will back it out. Let me know when you are
done.

Actually, as long as you're only touching installw.sgml and not
install.sgml, there's no problem. May I suggest that the material
in FAQ_MINGW and FAQ_CYGWIN might be transposed into that chapter?

I was touching both so I will wait. We could move the FAQ info into the
docs but in a way the FAQ_MINGW doc file is referenced by both
pginstaller and by the docs, so merging it in might not make sense, and
it does have totally platform-specific stuff that might appear too large
in the official docs.
Right now in my current patch the idea is that in installation.sgml we
point them to FAQ_MINGW or FAQ_CYGWIN and from there they would get the
tools they need and return to the official install docs to complete the
job.

OK, I'm out of installation.sgml if you want to have another hack at it.
