Sorry. Here is a diff showing the change I made:

diff -pu /var/ftp/pub/cygwin/release/rpm/rpm-build/setup.hint ./setup.hint

This was the exact same change for both rpm-build/setup.hint and
rpm-doc/setup.hint.
I've also taken a look at one of the mirrors (heanet): The original file
timestamps were:

Is there any other information that could have been lost by my meddling, or
does that tell you everything that you could otherwise have found out if I
hadn't done it?
cheers,
