No problem. I will take care of the split.

Thus I am all in favour of splitting off Winding Numbers from Cauchy_Integral_Theorem: the latter contains 1000 lines of material following the definition up to subsection "Cauchy's integral formula, again for a convex enclosing set". Later there is some more material:

Unless we want to further generalise the definition in a topological or algebraic direction (which does not seem too necessary at the moment), this point-on-the-path issue is probably what we have to live with.

Maybe it is worth having two theories about winding numbers — a basic one for the integral theorem and an advanced one that is on the top of Jordan_Curve & Riemann_Mapping.
