With a request like that, you've got it! Is there any reason why
fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_TEXT) does not seem to change the mode if the file is
already open in binary mode? It required me to use setmode(fd, O_TEXT)
instead. My local patches are now tested, and default the dd files to
binary if they are not a tty (tty's remain with the underlying behavior,
this is comparable to other programs like od that default to binary).
Then it copies Paul Eggert's upstream idea of adding
[io]flag={text,binary}, but uses setmode to ensure that a user-specified
mode is applied (since fcntl did not want to do it).
Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on Pierre's latest mkdir(2) patch before
`mkdir -p //server/share' will work. But I can go ahead and release
5.3.0-6 in test status, and bump it to current when cygwin-1.5.17 is
released. Look for an upload request on cygwin-apps by tomorrow.
