I wondering if we should change this:

        *-*-msdos* | *-*-mingw32* | *-*-cygwin* | *-*-windows*)
                DEFAULT_PAR_PORT="lpt1"
                DEFAULT_SER_PORT="com1"

to something this (might need to split out the cygwin case though):

        *-*-msdos* | *-*-mingw32* | *-*-cygwin* | *-*-windows*)
                DEFAULT_PAR_PORT="/dev/lpt1"
                DEFAULT_SER_PORT="/dev/com1"

in configure.ac so as to allow things to work for cygwin users
independent of which version of cygwin they decide to use.

Does cygwin always provide the /dev/* files? What does mingw32 do?

Would native msdos and windows even use a /dev/* file?
