A while ago I put a temporary mirror with the packages formerly at
toomanysecrets.com; to use, add http://ns1.iocc.com/~joshua/cygwin/docbook
to your mirrors in setup.exe (or to /etc/setup/last-mirror) and look for
the packages in the chooser. There is also a "helper package" called
cygwin-doc-build that should grab everything you need for a working SGML
DocBook install. At least, it works for me to build the Cygwin documentation.

For the archives:
Refer to /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygwin-doc-*README for the latest info
if that mirror also disappears.
