Sorry about that. Looking at this, I see that this is not a cygport package. While this is something which has been done historically, and I know it may seen overkill for something this small, it's something I'm very reluctant to see in new packages. The license which applies to the original work here needs to be stated. It would be helpful if the description clarified that what this does is "show italic text in man pages properly as italic, rather than as underlined" That said, this works and is pretty cool. Nice!
