I suppose knowing how to make a patch against latest fetch of remote
branch (locally named web/master if you follow README from scratch), but
I may mention "git format-patch HEAD^" too. I'll also add a short
explanation about branches (what is a branch, remote/local branches).

cygwin.html and macos.html have not been updated for a while; macos.html
is clearly outdated, but cygwin.html is still valuable (Cygwin provides
2.10.7), so it should't be renamed to windows.html. You're right it
should be clearly mentioned there are 2 LilyPond flavours on Windows
(native and Cygwin).
