Patch and directions for compiling GNU screen 3.9.15 on Cygwin

["Parker, Ron" <rdparker at butlermfg dot com>]

I created a patch for GNU screen 3.9.15 that will allow it to be compiled
and installed on Cygwin.  The patch is attached below, the basic build and
install procedure is:

	$ tar xzf {tar-path}/screen-3.9.15.tar.gz
	$ cd screen-3.9.15
	$ patch -p1 -s <{patch-path}/screen-3.9.15-cygwin.diff
	$ autoconf
	$ ./configure
	$ make
	$ make install

Manual add the termcap and terminfo settings for screen.
	$ cd terminfo
	$ cat screencap >>/etc/termcap
	$ tic screeninfo.src

If everything works as planned screen should now be in /usr/local/bin.  See
if it is:
	$ which screen

The patch is attached.
