you can use setup.exe to change back from textmode to binmode, but the 
problem is, that most of the programs won't be abled to read the 
text-files they've writte in textmode.

Christopher Faylor always suggests linking with binmode.o - and i would 
recomm that too, for the KDE-cygwin project. i don't know, why they 
don't do it - perhaps because binmode.o is too unknown yet.

but to request, that the user runs cygwin in binmode is not always 
possible, because migrating back from text- to binmode takes much time 
(you have to convert every text-file)
