There are options for installing CYGWIN on Windows on how to handle CRLF. I can't remember where the configuration information is stored. It isn't just in the mount file. But, eventually, I figured out that it was better to have CYGWIN handling Linux mode and where necessary, do the explicit dos2unix/unix2dos (this was the command in the last version of CYGWIN I installed, the command name has subsequently changed in some versions of Linux, so it might not be an option with that name anymore, option was named something like textutils as I recall).
I made the decision to make CYGWIN go with unix conventions rather than Windows convention many years ago due to incompatibility of scripts with Linux/Unix/Solaris/HPUX when going back and forth. Bash certainly doesn't handle CR-LF at all and other programs do "magical" processing of what to include as a line when doing something like a readline().
