Is this correct even for situations where the cygwin1.dll is used
outside the Cygwin distribution, like git-bash, MSYS or similar,
where cygwin-based executables eventually are used from within some
CMD or PowerShell script? Or should they use unix2dos/dos2unix then?

OTOH, would it make sense to ignore the O_TEXT flag in cygwin1.dll?

I can do that, but if I were an upstream developer I would ask questions
like above...

Plus, to be portable: type d2u >/dev/null 2>&1 || d2u() { cat; }

So, firsthand I do prefer to avoid that need.
