    But didn't one have to use 'sed -b' before, in order to
strip out CR's?  I.e. wouldn't all the individual lib/tool maintainers have
been required to add '-b' to their sed scripts?  Seems either way,
you have the undesirability of forcing external products to change to
support cygwin.

    Whereas, what I'd wonder is, how you are supplying input to sed
in the first place?  I.e. how did CR's get into the stream to begin with.
If you used cygwin and some tool on cygwin generated CR's into the output
stream, I'd think that'd be a problem (or bug).  But if you are mixing
DOS/Win-progs w/cygwin, then you need to adapt the DOS/Win progs' outputs to
not have CR in them.

Or am I missing something basic?
