I can see that approach, too.

The unique trigger for adding that info was that I'm on 64bit myself, but I actually spent quite some time with trying to figure out what build of Cygwin I'm actually running. ;)  Worse, I did not actually find an answer for how to retrieve that info in an existing install in the Cygwin docs.  In the end, I noticed the difference in the (default) installation directory name.  The idea was that this hint might help other users to figure this out more quickly, too. :)

However, definitely not married to this elaborate description.  I agree we can put the current version numbers (+ links) directly in there, since those will change only rarely.

I'll come up with a revised proposal.
