I think that's a general docbook issue. You need not just the xsl transforms,
but the DTDs, which are in packages like docbook-xml42 I think. That
should enable you to build the HTML, though I've never tried it without
Internet access. Oh, and building from winsup/doc/ in CVS is what I really
work from, not the cygwin-doc "src" package, which is just a convenient
lie. Let us know if it works for you. :)
Also, you'll find that you still cannot build the full cygwin-doc package from
just tools available with Cygwin setup--texinfo (see docbook2x.sf.net)
and PDF (via db2pdf, jade, or jw) generation are still done on linux.
