Using windows text mode without setup.exe

Hello,

I am developing an application that links with the Cygwin dll (i.e. I  
don't want people to have to have a Cygwin install on their  
computers).  The application needs read from and write to files in  
text mode (i.e. using CRLF format).  This works fine on my development  
machine, because I can just use the Cygwin setup program to specify  
the Windows text mode as default.  However, when I package up my  
distribution with the Cygwin dll and install it elsewhere, the program  
writes UNIX linefeeds.

Please, is there some way to specify that Windows text mode should be  
used without going through the Cygwin setup program?  Should it be  
done automatically and I'm just missing something?

As per the reporting guidelines, I am attaching the output from  
cygcheck -s -v -r.

Thank you for your time,
- Mjumbe Poe
