Hello, I just came across an omission at the SITL for Windows documentation.
The final command of section Install Required Python Packages:
python -m pip install --user lxml
fails with error:

I have followed the instructions found here, installed "libxslt-devel" from the cygwin setup and the error went away.
Please update the documentation to include "libxslt-devel" in the list of packages for the cygwin installer.
