configure has CRLF

[Dave Silvia]

Well, here's how that works. When you're in a cygwin shell and you write out a 
file, the endings are set to LF or CRLF as you chose in the installation. It 
does not go out and re-write existing files.

Now when you execute a script, if it has CRLF this is transparently changed to 
LF during the execution only so that it doesn't error out. In essence, this is 
exactly what Msys does.

So, if I write files from Windows, they have whatever setting my editor sets 
them to (Vim/Gvim has this option). Cygwin will properly execute any file so 
edited and leave it in the format I chose in the editor.

HTH:
