why are you loughing? this mixed-textmode whould only apply when an app 
opens a file in text-mode and not in binary-mode.

this solves many problems.

for example you can copy you text-files to a linux-system, or you can 
switch back to UNIX-lineendings. all without having to convert your 
textfiles back to UNIX-linendings because.
This is the greatest disadvantage of the cygwin-DOS-lineending mode.
