Huh? The OP _wants_ the CR-LF conversion to LF that happens on text
mounts (but does NOT happen on binary mounts).  Also, binary mounts are
the default, you have to go out of your way to explicitly enable text
mounts.  But enabling text mounts only helps for files in the file
system; it does not help pipes from windows programs.
