Enough things work already without \r that I try to pretend \r
don't exist and store all text files without \r.  So I would
prefer everything cygwin to default to binary.

Of course if we can persuade Micro$oft to abandon CR/LF line
endings that
would be the perfect solution, but realism asks for trying to
live with them
:-) so I would propose, in the absence of an explicit setting,
that stdin be
read as TEXT and stdout written as BINARY. Maybe this could even
be an
option in CYGWIN: "text" meaning everyting is done in TEXT mode,
"binary"
everything in BINARY mode and "sane", or insane if you prefer
;-), used for
reading as TEXT and writing as BINARY.

Just my 2 cents,

Bernard
