But opening with "rt" is non-POSIX, while opening with "r" or "rb" is
POSIX, so the upstream maintainers are more reluctant to accept
a patch that uses "rt".  I have never seen any standards documentation
that describes what "rt" should do, so I assumed that it forced
opening a file in text mode (ie. all \r\n in the file are collapsed to
\n to the application reading the file, regardless of the mount point
of the file).  It sounds like you are telling me my assumption was
wrong, and that "rt" on a binary mount point preserves \r?

Maybe we need an update to http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html
