I thought this was a great idea. You can get fortune from:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/games/amusements/fortune/fortune-mod-9708.tar.gz

Change the makefile so REGEXDEFS=-DHAVE_REGEX_H -DPOSIX_REGEX and it
will build correctly.

I created a cygwin-tips database from the source of the FAQ file
how-using.texinfo. Works like a charm. I could easily add in the other
how-* files and automate this with perl.

Is anyone actually interested in this?
