setup.exe feature request (text mounts)

- Subject: setup.exe feature request (text mounts)
Since the text-mode mounts discussion (re: the "file" command) drifted
off into the merits of text vs binary mode (talk fodder), I thought I'd
split off this one as a top-level message to reiterate the request.
Could setup.exe be modified so that the choice of "text" vs "binary"
(DOS vs Unix line endings, in that screen) is applied _only_ to the
cygdrive mount?
It would be nice if one of the choices (or perhaps the default choice if
the user chooses "DOS endings") was to make:
/ binmode
/usr/lib binmode
/usr/bin binmode,exec
/cygdrive textmode (whatever the user chose at that screen).
Does this sound reasonable and doable?
