Indeed - the problem gets far worse when you start using git to manage
scripts - with "core.autocrlf = true" set, git converts all scripts to
DOS-endings on checkout, and bash won't run them.

We resolved this by putting SHELLOPTS=igncr into Cygwin.bat. This has
to be done before bash starts, so it won't work in .bashrc or
.bash_profile.
