D'oh!!!  However, the cygwin-doc package could itself benefit from better
documentation. ;-)  There is no mention of cygwin-api in any of the
readmes.  I had to actually look in /usr/doc/cygwin-doc-1.3/files to find
out that the "html" directory also contains cygwin-api (the README said
that it only contains the User's Guide).  Also, "info cygwin-api" was a
pure guess on my part...

Joshua, please consider this an improvement suggestion.
