Emacs is a major concern, but not my only one.  I don't think it's
practical to try to fix every Windows program to produce Unix line
endings.  I have to focus on getting Cygwin to work with DOS line
endings.

My original installation works fine.  When I ran the second
installation, I think I probably left the "Unix" flag on.  Is it
conceivable that I'll have to uninstall completely so I can reinstall
with the "DOS" flag set?  Rerunning it and setting that flag had no
effect.
