Ohh really? Is this a new requirement?
(a short google search didn't revealed useful results)

Here I use autoconf 2.61 on textmode mounts. Please correct me if
I'm wrong, but using binmode would make cygwin CVS check out the
files with unix line feeds, wouldn't it?
Files with unix line feeds are not expected by many windows tools
(vim/emacs work fine, but e.g. MS DevStudio 6 or even notepad.exe
are odd).
