I used to agree (heck I even patched bash 1.14.7 way back when, just to
get Unixy temp files/redirection).  But since emacs started supporting
DOS text cleanly, I stopped caring.  That's not to say it doesn't annoy
me sometimes; I had to add a few dtou's to the autoconf scripts so a
configure file generated by a DJGPP autoconf would be able to run on
Linux as well, while with Unixy redirection there would have been no
problem
