Peter,
I think this is a really useful problem to resolve for the popolarity
of zsh on cygwin. Many of us are fairly impatient, and think well I've
got 30 minutes; I'll give zsh a go, then try to convert an existing
bash script get these ^M problems and think blast I have to rewrite my
existing scripts, decide they haven't got time for that and give up.

(Your bash scripts should all work under zsh; In any case you can
choose to leave the shebang as #!/bin/bash)

Anyway thanks again
