Nope, since those are generally about cygwin1.dll, and not bash.

Nope, since I haven't bothered to make my cygwin-specific patch even 
bigger than it already is by touching the man page too (but PTC, if you 
write such a patch, I'll probably include it, next time I repackage bash 
for cygwin).

Yep - that email (most recently here[1]), along with 
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash.README, are the definitive sources of all 
documentation to cygwin-specific patches to bash (of which igncr is one).
