A few quibbles on the mirror list <http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html>:

Germany is listed twice.
 - The first is as a country in Europe having 15 mirrors.
 - The second as a region, having one "country", called Europe, that has a =
single mirror, <http://cygwin.abdaal.com/pub/>.

Canada is listed as it's own region, not part of North America.  North Amer=
ica either should be renamed United States or it should include Alberta, On=
tario, and Quebec.  (The latter seem to me to be most consistent with the r=
est of the list.)

Since all the primary bullets are continents (with the exception of Germany=
 and Canada), I would delete "South" from the first instance of South Afric=
a.

And yes, none of this really matters.  The list is perfectly understandable=
 as is.  So one needn't fix it.

- Barry
