Hi Christopher,
What is this "interesting workaround"?
Most probably we will use bash with "set -o igncr" btw.
Actually I hadn't heard about set -o igncr until this thread but
thinking about it I wouldn't use it. If I did then things would "just
work" for me. Problem is I'm very good with Cygwin but I come across
others who very often do not invest as much time to get to know Cygwin.
So if there's trailing CRs in a script I want it to fail so that I see
it. Otherwise another user will say "I tried that but it didn't work"
(as they always do) and I don't want it to "just work" when I try it - I
want it to fail like it most liked did for the other guy.
When I hit this problem I simply do d2u <file> and I'm done.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for
reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
