If you are interested, try the coreutils-5.3.0-6 test release (in setup,
you have to specifically request the Exp radio button to see test
releases).  I changed dd to default to binary mode on regular files, and
added "text" and "binary" as valid flags to "iflag=" and "oflag=".  Let me
know if the new behavior causes any problems.

The coreutils release is marked test because it also attempts to fix the
`mkdir -p //server/share/dir' bug, but that fix relies on snapshot
behavior and is still being ironed out before cygwin 1.5.17 can be released.
