Design. The stuff in /usr/doc/ProgramName-V.R.P/ is the standard,
generic documentation that the package provides for all platforms. The
READMEs in /usr/doc/Cygwin/ are cygwin-specific documentation written by
the cygwin porter/maintainer.
So, if you have a generic "How do I use cvs" question, then look in
/usr/doc/ProgramName-V.R.P/. If you have a "How is cvs *different* on
cygwin w.r.t. other Unix platforms" type question, then look in
/usr/doc/Cygwin/.
