With the patch at <http://gecko.gc.maricopa.edu/~medgar/screen.html>,
Screen seems to behave under Cygwin.  Detaching and reattaching works
as does multi-display mode.  I have only tested it under RXVT (no-X),
but the patch maintainer's comments make me believe it won't work
correctly under the Windows shell.

Apply the patch and then regenerate 'configure' to fix the fifo lockup.
