The original problem is best solved by a (setq *default-file-encoding* :unix) in ~/.clisprc.lisp
As mentioned in an earlier post, that doesn't work for *standard-output*, presumably because it's already :dos before .clisprc runs. It would work if there were a way to change the external-format of an already-open stream. Is there? Sam also wrote at the issue tracker page [1]:
note that even the cygwin CLISP is expected to write files useful for other (non-cygwin) programs, so the fact that they really expect CRLF does matter to us.
Au contraire; speaking for myself, the reason I use Cygwin is to avoid (as much as possible) dealing with Windows's non-unixy things such as CRLFs. If I wanted CLISP to act like a Windows program rather than a unix program, I would use a Windows (non-Cygwin) version of it. By the way, the cited section of the CLISP implementation notes [2] says that defined(WIN32) is true in Cygwin, but it isn't.
