I had this discussion before. The conclusion was that this doesn't
really help unless _u_i_d is RE-installed, which can't be forced. See:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-10/msg00417.html

I don't use emacs too much either. This path is set by configure, based
on the build script's configure flags. Looking now, there is also a
/usr/share/emacs/21.2/site-lisp dir, but all that's there is subdirs.el.
If someone who knows more about emacs would comment on this, it would be
appreciated.

Thanks for catching this. I'll fix this in the build script.

I guess you have help2man in your PATH. I also do, so I didn't catch
this until the ITP, when Igor Pechtchanski wrote about this. See the
whole thread beginning with this message:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-12/msg00129.html
I haven't had any luck with trying to work around this. Unfortunately the
newest version of help2man doesn't build by me, otherwise I would propose
this (never got any comments if an older version would be accepted).
Do you have any ideas? Thanks!
