The Cygwin vim has the same ability to recognize Unix/DOS files as the Windows native version. After a discussion with Bram Moolenaar he decided not to add that recognition to the vim script files as .vimrc. These files must be in binary mode on Cygwin regardless of the bin/textmode of the underlying mount point.
