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.
