I used this mostly for extend Cygwin/Mingw man/info for own directory 
(c:\home\usr\share)

Setup MANPATH.
--------------

To use woman with on Windows set MANPATH like this (note that path in
Cygwin/MinGW style so you need use cygwin-mount.el)::

  MANPATH=:/cygdrive/d/home/usr/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man

for Cygwin or like this::

  MANPATH=/e/home/usr/share/man:/e/bin/MinGW/man:/e/bin/gnuwin32/man

for MinGW and other case.

To get man paths on Cygwin see <cygwin-root>\usr\share\misc\man.conf.

Also you can set woman-manpath variable.

Setup INFOPATH.
---------------

To browse info file inside Emacs set INFOPATH like this for Cygwin::

  
INFOPATH=e:/opt/cygwin/usr/share/info;e:/home/usr/share/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/share/info:

and like this for MinGW::

  
INFOPATH=e:/bin/gnutls/share/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/info;e:/bin/gnuwin32/share/info;e:/bin/MinGW/info;e:/bin/MinGW/share/info;e:/bin/wget/info:

Note that last colon symbol is essential for include also Emacs info to list.
