I'm trying to build xterm 380 and got two problems in the cygport
compile step:
1.
*** ERROR: could not determine the autoconf version used to generate
./configure; perhaps set AUTOCONF_VERSION?
I don't know why a tool wants to be told its own version (or what's
going on) but the following line in xterm.cygport seems to help:
AUTOCONF_VERSION=$( autoconf --version | sed -e "s,.* ,," -e 1q )
2.
configure: error: unrecognized option: --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xterm
This seems to be injected by the cygconf function, and the package
configure script does not know it.

As part of autoreconf, it tries to figure out what version of autoconf should be
used for configure.
Thomas Dickey uses his own autoconf package without a version definition.
For his Cygwin packages AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.52 tells autoconf to behave like his.

You could skip cygconf and run autoreconf ... then $S/configure with the other
--...dir and option variables required.
