Notepad (as do many Windows programs) expects a CR-LF (carriage return -
line feed) combination to indicate end-of-line, whereas Linux/Unix etc. only
use CR. Vi is, and any decent editor on Windows should be, capable of
interpreting both types of end-of-line. This is not Cygwin specific, btw, so
you might wanna follow up on a more appropriate list.
