Unfortunately there is no "auto" option for cygwins mount.

What I've understood so far is, that it is safer to mount with text.  Is 
this right?  What will happen if actually binary files are opened for 
reading?  Will a \r\n sequence cut down to \n or how is the mode then 
detected?

Seems to me that this is more a cygwin issue...
