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.
