nobinmode pipes?

I'm porting a ksh script to pdksh running under cygwin and noticed that if 
a run a windows program in a coprocess, the pipe seems to stay in binmode 
even if I set nobinmode in the CYGWIN variable. How can I get rid of those 
pesky carriage returns that the Windows program outputs at the end every 
line? I don't want to have to launch something like "tr -d" for every line 
I read from the pipe? That could really slow things down. I've also tried 
adding "\r" to the IFS variable but that didn't work either.
