There's another thing that puzzles me: Why make the distinction between
text-mode and binary-mode mounts at all? Why not have _only_ binary mounts,
and tell people they MUST use a UNIX-compatible editor to edit anything
they intend to use in cygwin? It would be so much simpler than the current
system, wherein the same file can be handled differently according to the
particular path you follow to get to it (argh!!!)
