Yes, it was, but I don't remember concluding that putting them in /usr/man was the solution. Please either don't install them at all or put them in a mingw-specific location.Sorry, I must have come to the wrong conclusion. I had thought that since Cygwin by default installs man pages to /usr/share/man installing the MinGW specific man pages in /usr/man as long as they were prefixed with 'mingw-' was OK. This allows users to do a 'man mingw-dirname' without having to modify their MANPATH.
If it's desired that they not be included, I'll produce an updated release with them removed.
IMO, if they are already prefixed by "mingw-", they can go into /usr/share/man -- there's no chance they'll be confused with Cygwin's manpages. But perhaps we should move this discussion to -apps, and inform this list of the final decision.
