Summary: make it build and work on cygwin

Initial Comment:
versions:
 minicom 2.1
 cygwin 1.5.7 on winXP

It doesn't extract/build on cygwin because of the "aux" directory name and
references to it. "aux" is one of Windows fancy reserved filenames.
This simple script renames the "aux" dir and references to "auxiliary"

Of course you can pick another name. Just not "aux" (or "lpt1" , "com1" for that matter :-d ) 

Of course you need a non-windows platform to run the script on or find a way to rename the "aux" dir in the archive.   
Or supply a separate cygwin distribution. Or rename it altogether.

Further cygwin configuration needed:
- check if ntsec is enabled
- create a (UID 0) root account (for "-s" option)

------- patch-minicom-cygwin.sh -------------
#!/bin/bash

grep -l aux `find .` > lst
for x in `cat lst` ; do 
	mv $x $x.tmp ; 
	sed "s/aux/auxiliary/g" $x.tmp > $x ; 
	rm $x.tmp ; 
done
rm lst
mv aux auxiliary

chmod a+x configure

There's no aux directory in the CVS version anymore.
