Ok, I'm playing devil's advocate here, but shouldn't the output from a native
port of grep be CRLF anyway?  Why would *any* tool, intended for processing
text files and compiled natively on Woe32, explicitly force stdout to _O_BINARY
mode, (which would be required to achieve LF, rather than CRLF output)?

IMO, (which probably doesn't count for much here, since I use the MSYS ports
of tools such as grep, and I expect them to force _O_BINARY mode anyway), this
could be considered a bug in the GnuWin32 port.

This said, the `-U' (a.k.a. `--binary') option may be helpful in your case;
see http://man.linuxquestions.org/?query=grep&section=0&type=2 for details.

Regards,
Keith.
