Why is the version of gdc under cygwin GNU and not linux?

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.

version(GNU) is the "compiler vendor", just like version(DigitalMars) ?
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?
