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

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