Could you not perhaps at emacs (initial) startup add the rebase userpath 
eln-cache entry, and create a shell script to rebase the eln-cache 
entries which could be e.g. ~/.emacs.d/cygwin-rebase-eln-cache or 
elsewhere, and perhaps that script could also initially add the rebase 
userpath eln-cache entry, to make life easier for users.
You could document the manual instructions and any commands or scripts 
provided in /usr/share/doc/cygwin/emacs.README for reference in every 
release notice, as well as in issues here, rather than documenting it in 
and referring to release notices.
I suggest this as GNU units comes with a python script 
(/usr/bin/units_cur) to update currency exchange rates (requiring 
internet availability to access a few free data sources) if you want to 
use units for such operations, and instructions for various automated 
modes of operation documented in /usr/share/doc/cygwin/units.README, the 
approach decided on after discussions on the apps list.
