This must have something to do with cygport, because the manual does get 
installed if I build outside of cygport via qmake-qt4, make, make 
install.  But I have more important things to worry about first.  I 
started trying to use texworks and found that I can reliably make the X 
server crash.  Since texworks isn't in the distro yet, I'm not sure 
where to take this.  Should I send the details to the Ports list?
