Updated: texinfo 4.1


I've made a new version of 'texinfo' available for download.  This updates
the package to the latest version available from ftp.gnu.org.  I've
included the update information from the package NEWS file below.

For a brief descripton of this package, see http://cygwin.com/packages/ .

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup, select "Text" and select texinfo.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .  I would appreciate it if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.  Really.
No kidding.  Email cygwin stuff to cygwin@cygwin.com.

If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list
is the appropriate place.
