The Cygwin vim has the same ability to recognize Unix/DOS files
as the Windows native version.  After a discussion with Bram Moolenaar
he decided not to add that recognition to the vim script files
as .vimrc.  These files must be in binary mode on Cygwin regardless
of the bin/textmode of the underlying mount point.
