According to Graig on 10/14/2007 7:51 AM:
> The message below generated an email thread amongst the gnu folks,

to which, I reiterate what I said in that thread:

> I maintain the cygwin port of coreutils.  Cygwin's philosophy is a bit
> different from some of the other ports to windows: when  using binary
> mounts, cygwin's goal is to behave like Linux.  Since ptx on Linux has the
> same behavior in treating \r literally, that is why I have made no effort
> for cygwin to behave any differently when you are using a cygwin binary
> mount.  Put another way, the fact that you use a binary mount on cygwin is
> an agreement on your part to use files that are binary-compatible with
> Linux (ie no \r line endings), and tools like d2u should be used to
> convert problem files on a cygwin binary mount.  On the other hand, you
> can use a cygwin text mount, which will ignore the \r with no
> recompilation required.
