I can only find a total of three references to either directory,
and two of them mention it the context of "this was the old location":

faq-resources.xml-15-list what man pages the package includes.)  Some older packages still keep
faq-resources.xml:16:their documentation in <literal>/usr/doc/</literal>
faq-resources.xml-17-instead of <literal>/usr/share/doc/</literal>.

setup-net.sgml:235:Relevant documentation can be found in the <literal>/usr/doc/Cygwin/</literal> 
setup-net.sgml-236-or <literal>/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/</literal> directory.

The only remaining one is a glancing reference in the FAQ to rxvt,
and it needs cleaning up anyway as it refers to ash.  If the attached
fix is OK I will update the htdocs copy too.

faq-using.xml-864-<para>Don't invoke as simply ``rxvt'' because that will run /bin/sh (really
faq-using.xml-865-ash) which is not a good interactive shell.  For details see
faq-using.xml:866:<literal>/usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-&lt;ver&gt;.README</literal>.

Unless my grep-fu failed that's it.

	* faq-using.xml (faq.using.console-window): Mention FHS location of
	docs and remove outdated reference to ash.

 You can use it with or without X11.  You can resize it easily by
 dragging an edge or corner.  Copy and paste is easy with the left and
 middle mouse buttons, respectively.  It will honor settings in your
