Would it be possible to do this dynamically (instead of keying off of
mounts, etc.): if the first line of the file read by bash has a \r\n,
use text-mode (1-char-at-a-time) semantics, else use binary semantics
(lseek)?
I hate to say this, but... if bash goes this route, could it be a shopt?
I would rather know that my scripts are broken (DOS-format).
