Nope. cgf, the binutils package maintainer, reads this list.

You could use 'od -c filename | head' to validate whether the file has
\r\n endings where you think it is supposed to, after you have retrieved
your script from version control. Either the whole script does (and IFS
is now four characters as the first thing you do, so that it splits
fields, and being whitespace, is ignored), or is three characters and
there are no other \r to confuse your script.
Hmm, my simple test case seemed to work, which is why I posted that idea
as a simple solution; but playing with it a bit further, I'm seeing some
weird behavior, too. It looks like I may end up releasing bash 3.1-9 that
makes sure that if \r is in IFS that itis treated like \n (non-whitespace
characters are handled differently than whitespace ones during field
splitting).

Sorry, my mistake.

While cygwin doesn't mind a symlink, they won't work if you try to use sh
from cmd.com, which is why the bash postinstall script does a copy instead
of a symlink. And naming a symlink sh when it points to bash.exe is a bit
confusing; the postinstall script names the copy sh.exe. Hmm, we still
don't have cygcheck patched to resolve symlinks.

Yes. 'man mount'. In fact, I do just that:
$ mount -m
mount -f -u -t "c:/cygwin/home/eblake/text" "/home/eblake/text"
mount -f -s -b "c:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "c:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "c:/cygwin" "/"
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"
