I did actually test it to make sure I wasn't misremembering
it being false.  I haven't found any official Cygwin
documentation on WIN32, but a few mailing list posts also
say it should be false:

This apparently doesn't work when stdout isn't a terminal.
E.g., running the following

  clisp.exe -i .clisprc test.lisp > test.txt

(where .clisprc does the above setq and test.lisp just
prints several lines) results in

  *** - SYSTEM::SET-STREAM-EXTERNAL-FORMAT on
         #<IO TWO-WAY-STREAM #<IO TERMINAL-STREAM>
           #<OUTPUT BUFFERED FILE-STREAM CHARACTER #P"/dev/fd/1">>
        is illegal

If I have .clisprc do

  (setf (stream-external-format *standard-output* )
    (make-encoding :line-terminator :unix))

and stdout is not a terminal, then there's no error, but
test.txt is still in dos format.  (Of course output
redirections like this are exactly why I care about EOLs.)

If you think it's a good idea, we can take this discussion
to the CLISP list.

Thanks,
