I'm not sure what you mean. The scripts that give me problems are packages (like
the configure script for subversion 1.4x, before the cygwin release) and simple
bash scripts i created in VIM 7 to just change directories and run perl scripts
both had this dos line endings problem. 

all of my mounts are mounted binmode.

Is there a utility like a hex editor for cygwin that can check files for the
"\r" line endings?
