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

-bash-3.00$ !dif
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
