I just started playing around with postgresql on cygwin, and hit my first
snag. The COPY command assumes its input/output to have UNIX style line
endings, which is an inconvenience since notepad is my favorite editor
(seriously). Here's an obvious patch to src\backend\commands\copy.c which
all platforms should be happy with (note: PG_BINARY_R,W should probably be
"rb","wb" on all platforms rather than having the current ifdef for cygwin).
I suspect there are other places in the code that should be using explicit
text-mode open calls, but I don't have time to do an exhaustive search.
