[PR] cygport (update required for autoconf-2.71)

[Achim Gratz]

In order for cygport to work correctly when autoconf 2.71 is requested,
please pull the first commit (b25cb3faa) on my to-upstream branch into
upstream and release a new version.  I'd appreciate if the full branch
would be pulled, these are all used by me for quite some time already.

I see that "officially" Yaakov is still the maintainer

   https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/cygport.html

but I do not remember any commitment from him to do so.

If Yaakov declines, how can we manage the ownership ?

Marco

There was a discussion on IRC in which Jon Turney agreed to take over.
