Then ask bash to do that.  It does not ignore carriage returns by

default), but the thing about defaults is that they can be changed.

Patches welcome; but here's the cygwin-specific documentation that DOES
mention it:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2011-02/msg00027.html
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash.README

which includes these suggestions:

4c. To affect all scripts, export the environment variable BASH_ENV,
pointing to a file that sets the shell option as desired.  Bash will
source this file on startup for every script.
4d. Added in the bash-3.2-2 release: export the environment variable
SHELLOPTS with igncr included in it.  It is read-only from within bash,
but you can set it before invoking bash; once in bash, it auto-tracks
the current state of 'set -o igncr'.  If exported, then all bash child
processes inherit the same option settings; with the exception added in
3.2.9-11 that certain interactive options are not inherited in
non-interactive use.
