Can anyone verify if this is true? Does man not work "out of the box"?

Hi!
I've just been playing with Cygwin, and I must say I absolutely love it....
the last time I looked at it was a beta a couple of years ago that was
quite accomplished and hanging my system. but now, you have produced a very
classy system for all of us who are trapped in windoze land.
one thing I did find was that "man" does not work 'out-of-the-box'. I
grabbed an /etc/man.config from an linux system and edited it to reflect
the actual paths for the support executables and it seems work OK. (I'm not
a wiz on man.config, so I won't claim to have created a perfect one, just a
demonstration that it works in principle ;)
hope this is a little bit of a help for you.....
