No, absolutely not - that'll just create further confusion.

The problem with our new FAQ is that much of it is installer specific,
so including it in the main distro which doesn't include the installer
code just seems wrong somehow. Perhaps the existing faq should have a
note in bold at the top directing ppl to the installer FAQ if that's
what they really want, and leave the rest of the doc for Cygwin/Mingw
specific issues.

Regards, Dave.
