Why is the version of gdc under cygwin not able to read files in the 
dos format? According to the specs *nix, DOS and MAC file formats are 
valid inputs for D.

The "operating system" version should instead read: version(cygwin)

These are both pretty lame, and version(Posix) would be much better...
But that's not the way the versioning system is setup at the moment.

For Cygwin, these symbols are be defined: "GNU", "Unix", and "cygwin". 
"Unix" should be defined for all Unix-like systems.

I'm not seeing any problems with CRLF format files.  Can you send me 
(zipped/tar'd) sample?
