Something I've never been able to figure out is why Cygwin offers to install with the choice of either dos or unix line endings. The way I see it is that using dos line endings allows for good integration with native windows apps. I can see no advantage of using unix line endings, though I guess there must be one otherwise the option wouldn't be offered. Can any one shed some light on this.
