cygcheck (64&32) output contains DOS line terminators

cygcheck (64&32) output contains DOS line terminators

[Brian Inglis]

All cygcheck output seems to have DOS line terminators in both Cygwin 64 & 32.
Is this by design or just because it's a native Windows app?
It's annoying in command lines and scripts to have to strip the \r.

So by accident rather than intent?
Could that be easily changed to be more Cygwin-like?
Or would it involve more difficult changes to a lower level API?

I agree. Despite the fact that it's a "Windows app", the fact remains
that it is installed in /usr/bin, so its clear intent is to be run
from the Cygwin command line.  --Ken Nellis

Anyone willing to write a patch to set the output to binary mode instead
of text mode?
