BTW, I would like to add my voice to the silent majority who is very very
happy to have Linux compatibility maintained. I use bash scripts on both
Linux & Cygwin and have in the past run into line ending problems.  It's as
mysterious on Linux as it has proven to be on Cygwin.  Having them both
behave identically is the correct path, IMHO. And while I consider your
efforts to ease the pain on the Windows side, I also appreciate how you
are sticking to your guns on this matter.
