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.....
