I retract this third suggestion.  On investigation of the bash source,
bash still treats \r as a non-IFS-whitespace, so while it has some effect,
it is not a complete way to ignore \r\n line endings.

I may still be able to add a cygwin-specific shopt for this, but recommend
a text mount in the meantime if you are forced to use \r\n endings.
