That was six months ago.  If I had to guess, I'd guess that I wasn't
talking about a cygwin update since the cygwin \r\n handling hasn't
changed in years, AFAIK.  I was probably talking about a texinfo.
Texinfo links with the cygwin automode.o file, which means that it
should, by default, accept \r\n input and spit out \n.
