As part of this, I'd like to suggest that we officially change Cygwin
"-a" handling to be DOS-like (i.e., make CR/LF files) rather than Unix-
like.  The host filesystem and virtually all of the tools are DOS-EOL-
aware, if not actually 100% DOS/Windows to their core, so it doesn't
make much sense to emit Unix-style text files.  (An alternative would
be to allow selection of the line-ending style, but I don't know that 
that's necessary.)

I'd also like to make my bimonthly plea to just release the damn thing
already; if I'm not mistaken, it's been more than half a year since the
first of the outstanding security holes was announced, and that's just
too long.  Hand it off to someone else if you can't do it yourself,
Christian, but please do _something_...  Even an overly strict fix would
be better than the nothing-at-all that's currently available.

Thanks,
  Greg

P.S.  I have a zipgrep fix to send in shortly.  My main system is almost
      rebuilt, so I should be able to dig it out within a day or two.
