I think they were needed in previous versions of Cygwin. Also often programs 
transforrm automatically \n into \l\n sequences. Also if the destination 
program does not handle correctly Unix-linefeed one would have to add 
something like unix2dos into the shell.

Also cygwin has a variety of options whether mount points automatically 
transform textfiles from/to Unix to MS/DOS-format. Therefore I cannot perform 
tests a Win* systems.

Do you now of any user of this batch who could answer these question?
