No problem for me.

Most people do this, but for some reason I personally don't like it
very much. I can't really give a concrete reason, that's just the way it
is. But it really doesn't matter.

Does it have to? Ok, it would be nice if all docs would look like the
same but either we play a bit with the CSS or we just skip it. The most
important thing is that docs exist and are usuable. The look is a
secondary goal, IMO.

I'm interested in how to use the autotools on Windows? Is there
any way to use them without cygwin?

Without any doubt.

E.g. whether to wait until after the next release or to push it
immediately into it.
