As mentioned in an earlier post, that doesn't work for
*standard-output*, presumably because it's already :dos
before .clisprc runs.  It would work if there were a way to
change the external-format of an already-open stream.  Is
there?

Au contraire; speaking for myself, the reason I use Cygwin
is to avoid (as much as possible) dealing with Windows's
non-unixy things such as CRLFs.  If I wanted CLISP to act
like a Windows program rather than a unix program, I would
use a Windows (non-Cygwin) version of it.

By the way, the cited section of the CLISP implementation
notes [2] says that defined(WIN32) is true in Cygwin, but it
isn't.
