Jon Turney c549e953a9 Fix some broken links in Cygwin FAQ
GNU no longer encourages the use of documentation mirrors, to avoid
referring to obsolete documentation.  Also www.fsf.org/manual/ is
just a redirect to www.gnu.org/manual/

Links to using-utils.html #fragments are no longer correct as each utility
is now a separate page, since 646745cb.

indiana.edu seems to have moved XLiveCD information, without a redirect.

Linking to clean_setup.pl on cygwin.com doesn't work, as direct downloads
aren't allowed, so instead state where it can be found on a mirror.

David Macek 6de53a3516 Add MacType to BLODA
One more patch. MacType was observed by several users to cause `GPGME:
Invalid crypto engine` failures in MSYS2. See
<https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/393>.

I also removed two full stops in the sake of consistency.

	* faq-using.xml: Add MacType to the BLODA.  Fix formatting.

David Macek 76b5c03bd7 Add Forefront TMG to the BLODA
A user of MSYS2 had non-deterministic segfaults when running simple
command from bash started from cmd. We've isolated the cause to
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Forefront TMG Client\FwcWsp64.dll`. See
<http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/tickets/212/> for a little more
information.

It seems enough to include the software in BLODA, but if not, sorry for
the unsolicited patch and let's discuss.

	* faq-using.xml: Add Forefront TMG to the BLODA
