Cygwin fun

Two fun things I've learned about cygwin today... The first is about emacs!

I forget the exact reason, but "c-x c-c" won't quit unless you add "set CYGWIN=binmode tty ntsec " to your Cygwin.bat in the cygwin directory.

Secondly files that are created in windows need to be stripped of their line ends. You can do this by running d2u on the file you are trying to use in cygwin.
