See http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/screen/ . I included the
"updated" patch from Igor, which applies cleanly to 4.0.1.

And there's no such thing as "as of v 4.0.1". Multiple windows
always worked on Cygwin.

What doesn't:

- Reattaching (there's a patch somewhere)
- Resizing
- Subshell with Midnight Commander

And probably others.
