Well, technically, the above will not act as a "stream editor", as it
still edits (and saves) the files...  A stream editor would be something
like

cat $f | vim -b -c ":se t_ti= t_te= nosc |:sil %s/xygwin1.dll/cygwin1.dll/g|:%p |:q!" 
> new-$f

except I can't quite figure out how to turn off the display codes and
the "Vim: Reading from stdin..." message (perhaps others will know how).
