RFC: Adding a check to the top level configure script for a binary-mounted cygwin-hosted build directory

I agree, I think it would be very good to have this check available in 
the main autoconf sources.

I am attaching an updated patch which fixes a couple of problems 
uncovered in the first version:

   * I was not escaping the square brackets in the awk script.
   * The check for the "binmode" string needed to be stricter.

Cheers
