Regenerated, and reattached.

Hmph. When I read the documentation for a framework, I almost always go
directly to the PDF, if it's available. The PDF doesn't say anything about
this being deprecated. I wouldn't have used it if it had. If I'm
interpreting the modification date on the file properly, this PDF hasn't
been regenerated in 5 years.
Looking at this also made me realize a silly mistake I was making, in that I
was setting CYGWIN in my .bashrc, not in my system env vars. I fixed that,
and also removed "check_case", but it had no obvious effect.

Ah, yes. It's been a while. Proceeding.
