It turns out that there's a fair amount of discussion on the Cygwin mailing 
list about changes made in Cygwin Bash handling of \r\n in script files in 
versions after v 3.1-6 to improve Cygwin Bash performance.

See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-10/msg00079.html for the latest 
announcement.

I'm reviewing the choices as to how to handle this change and will post my 
thoughts in a day or so.
