This has been discussed countless time on the cygwin mailing list.
I just answered it fifteen minutes ago:

If you are not running version 1.1.1 (i.e., you're running 1.1.0) of
cygwin then you can fix this by mounting any directories containing the
files which have "carriage return/line feed" line endings as:

mount -t c:\somedirectory\or\other /somedirectory/or/other

If you are running 1.1.1, then the only fix currently available is to
edit your files and eliminate the \r (carriage returns, ascii 13
character) from your file.

Someone posted a utility for doing this recently.  I don't recall
offhand what it was or where to find it.
