In Cygwin 1.7.1 installation in file

placed tips:

- mintty: Put BackspaceSendsDEL=1 in your .minttyrc file.

Under "man 1 mintty" present only 'BackspaceSendsBS' option.
What option correct and why I need set it?
Also please fix emacs.README if it already not fixed.

Your Cygwin installation is out of date. After updating, you should probably start with a fresh .minttyrc (or just delete it, and set the mintty options you want from the mintty options menu).
