Cygwin is not to fast, but if I run sed on files all Windows EOL are 
replaced with Unix EOL. That damages my version control. Of course I can 
run u2d on that files manually, but I don't want to remind that all time.

The files itself are mounted in text mode. They are under 
/cygdrive/d/Projekte/. But sed changes the EOL anyway. Because sed is 
saved in /usr/bin, which is mounted in binary mode, I thought this is 
the reason for sed doing so.

Also one cannot change the way of mounting /, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib in 
fstab, as you can see:

There is only the possibility to change the way of mounting /cygdrive.

Thanks for further advises.

Cheers,
Jan
