I'm not sure having maintainer-mode disabled by default for cygwin makes 
a lot of sense.

We don't check in the autotools generated files, so for the handful of 
people in the world who build cygwin from source from the git repo, they 
should have autotools already installed and this just requires them to 
know and remember to use '--enable-maintainer-mode'.

(There are no meaningful source archive releases of cygwin.)

I take the point about consistency, but I'm not sure what the arguments 
are against using 'AM_MAINTAINER_MODE([enabled])' everywhere.
