As maintainer of two FAQs, may I humbly point out that this is grist for
a FAQ mill. Someone needs to be monitoring the mailing list, looking
for questions that come up a lot and add them to the FAQ, even if only
as a link into the mailing list archives. This solves the "mailing list
is not documentation" problem: the FAQ item puts a useful title on the
solution, like "How do I increase Cygwin performance?"
No, sorry, I am not volunteering. :) I don't want to maintain 3 FAQs.
