FYI, "makeinfo --html" will have named anchors (with names being section
headers), and so will "texi2html --node-files" (I also usually use
"--split node").

I like the way the new FAQ looks. One question, however: is DocBook
easily installable on Cygwin? Can the FAQ be built with the default
settings of Cygwin's DocBook package? If so, this package should be
listed as a prerequisite for building the Cygwin documentation.
Incidentally, tetex-3.0.0 seems to be missing the texi2html executable (it
was present in tetex-2.0.2). Jan, any comments?
