There are options for installing CYGWIN on Windows on how to handle CRLF.  I 
can't remember where the configuration information is stored.  It isn't just in 
the mount file.  But, eventually, I figured out that it was better to have 
CYGWIN handling Linux mode and where necessary, do the explicit 
dos2unix/unix2dos (this was the command in the last version of CYGWIN I 
installed, the command name has subsequently changed in some versions of Linux, 
so it might not be an option with that name anymore, option was named something 
like textutils as I recall).

I made the decision to make CYGWIN go with unix conventions rather than Windows 
convention many years ago due to incompatibility of scripts with 
Linux/Unix/Solaris/HPUX when going back and forth.  Bash certainly doesn't 
handle CR-LF at all and other programs do "magical" processing of what to 
include as a line when doing something like a readline().
