check for missing COMSPEC variable in cygwin.
Cygwin unsets the COMSPEC environment variable on some installations.
This is due to an error reported first time in 2005, but not solved.
There are no exact pattern when this happens, in this case it happened
on 2 windows 8.1 VM installations (one private one azure).
added check in configure.ac to alert the user earlier
COMSPEC is used in sal/osl to start processes and as such vital, and in
some perl scripts, therefore hardcoding to e.g. cmd32.exe (or the power
shell) is not an option.
Limited check to work only for cygwin.
