I also mentioned that I am toying with the idea of a cygwin-specific patch
that converts all script path to posix before opening them (a'la
cygwin_conv_to_full_posix_path in <sys/cygwin.h>); at which point DOS
paths to a text mode mount would inherit text mode behavior, but DOS paths
to a binary mode mount would still remain binary. At any rate, I hope to
post bash-3.1-9 next week with something a little nicer for ignoring \r
and working with DOS paths, without too much of a penalty to people like
me that avoid \r and use POSIX paths at all costs in the first place.
