configure has CRLF

[Dave Silvia]

Hi!

As it turns out, it's relatively simple to find out what the user expects from 
their Cygwin installation and install wxWidgets scripts accordingly. The choice 
is revealed/set by the mount command in Cygwin:

$ mount
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (textmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type system (textmode,noumount)

The key, then, is to determine where they are installing wxWidgets, find that 
mount point, and copy the scripts accordingly.  For example, the typical (maybe) 
installation might be under C:\cygwin\usr\local\wxWidgets-2.8.0. Find it's mount 
point:

$ df  /usr/local
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
C:\cygwin             38588096  22648544  15939552  59% /

This being the case, a suitable filter can be written to get whether the mounted 
system that wxWidgets is being installed on is "textmode" or "binmode".

As an example:

#!/bin/sh

#actual value could be passed in as a variable,
#gotten from the environment,
#taken from a command (e.g., `pwd`),
#etc.
mntPnt="/usr/local"
theMnt=`df $mntPnt | grep ' /'`
theMode=`mount | grep ' on '${theMnt}' ' | awk '{print $NF} `
textMode=`echo $theMode | grep 'textmode'`
binMode=`echo $theMode | grep 'binmode'`
if [ ! -z "$textMode" ]
then
	# copy the CRLF versions
elif ] ! -z "$binMode" ]
then
	# copy the LF versions
fi
 
thx,
Dave S.
