Regarding your statement, 'These files must be in binary mode on Cygwin regardless of the bin/textmode of the underlying mount point.', what files are you referring to? I would understand if the Cygwin files, ie config files in /etc need to be binary, but are you saying that Cygwin needs to deal with all files (like /cygwin/c/autoexec.bat) in a binary mode? Or could the vim packaged with Cygwin be set to autodetect the binary/text type? My understanding of how vim/gvim worked was that it would detect the binary/text type and preserve the type when you edit save the file.

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.
