Terrence, Most packages come with a Cygwin-specific readme that should be in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/pkgname-ver.README. Older packages may still have it in /usr/doc/Cygwin/pkgname-ver.README, so check both places when in doubt. The Cygwin-specific readme will either tell you what you need to know, or will refer you to the location of the upstream README (which is also installed on your system, usually in /usr/{share/,}doc/pkgname-ver/.
