This seems to be an upstream change.  The Cygwin 4.2.1 and 4.2.2
releases are build the same way.  4.2.1-2 (-3 on 64 bit) and 4.2.2-1 are
both built from just the vanilla upstream sources.

While 4.2.2-2 adds the latest upstream gnulib regex, it behaves
otherwise identically to 4.2.2-1.  And both 4.2.2 releases show the same
behaviour in terms of CRLF line endings.

But it's really puzzeling.  There's no indication for this change
in the sources.
