I like the idea in principle. Depending on your setup though, 
editing a file in your favourite Cygwin based editor might give 
you an odd looking file in the end (some lines with DOS-endings 
and some with *n*x-endings). I doubt Cygwin would have a problem 
with that, but I don't really want to test what Windows would 
do.
