Oddly enough, I have always considered it a bug that the cygwin faq did
not display that bar on the left.

For a long time, text on the cygwin web pages actually jumped to column
1 when it hit the end of the bar.  I never liked that layout, either.

I'm not a fan of excesive white space but the extra margin invoked by
the bar on the left never really bothered me for some reason.
