Try the below patches. They make a workable screen on my system.
I even get a screen that I can attach and detach if I comment out
the '#define NAMEDPIPE 1' in config.h before building.
This is necessary because, unfortunately, cygwin's implementation of
fifos is not yet complete although screen thinks it is. So the
semi-working fifo seems to confuse detach/attach.
I'm not sure how you'd proceduralize the building of screen such that
configure would avoid using fifos. I guess the only way to do it is
to patch the configure script to avoid using fifos under cygwin. Or
always edit config.h after configure...
I really do have to fix fifos soon. Screen will be a good test case for
them, I guess.
