+
+`cygwin-mount.el` teaches Windows Emacs to understand Cygwin paths.
+
+In particular setting `INFOPATH` & `MANPATH` using Cygwin's convention allows to
+read info and man pages from Windows Emacs!
+
+Example of `INFOPATH` which works both in Cygwin and native Emacs:
+
+    INFOPATH=/cygdrive/c/home/usr/share/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/local/share/info:

+Final sign `:` instructs Cygwin's built-in info viewer to include system paths
+and native Emacs to include its own info pages.

+
+    MANPATH=:/cygdrive/c/home/usr/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man
