but those directories are not used by the Windows port, so there is no
reason for anyone to edit them on Windows (except for msdos, but I guess
either nothing has changed for a long time, or Eli checks out everything
with Unix line ends so hasn't seen the problem).
I always checkout with -kb (and that's the advice nt/INSTALL gives).
But the original question still stands: is there any reason not to
convert nt/makefile.w32-in to Unix EOLs? Will something in the build
procedure break?
[...time passes...] Ah, I see this entry in nt/ChangeLog:
2000-09-03 Andrew Innes <address@hidden>
* makefile.w32-in: Change to DOS line endings.
So I guess there _was_ a good reason for this, at least in the past,
and we better leave it that way, at least until after the release.
