Hmm. At least for the version I installed last friday (using
"install now" (aka setup) on the cygwin site) did *not* work.
I have had to copy "/usr/share/vimv/im60/vimrc_example" as
".vimrc" to my $HOME and add the line "set fileformats=unix,dos"
under the line "set nocompatible".

My english is somewhat limited, but as I understand the "options.txt"
in vim doc-folder, vim reads the whole file dicides on how many <CR>,
<CR><NL> and >NL> it found. (However, that chapter in the docs is not
really clear to me).
