What tool? Notepad? :) msvc, borland etc. have no problems with LF line 
endings. If you need to use shell scripts, perl / python scripts, creating 
tarballs, patches - all works better with LF.

It's http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDElibs+for+win32 policy to use 
LF files. Working on KDE source files in CRLF mode is not supported, no time 
to waste for that to just enable buggy 'Notepad' to work.

The de facto policy is kde code stored in SVN - other code (eg 3rd party apps 
using kdelibs) can be in CRLF, IMHO we shouldn't care.

HINT: Unless you are not convinced to do the fix, I noticed I am forced to run 
from win32 bash shell:

for f in `svn -R list | dos2unix | grep -v ".*/\$"` ; do
         svn propset svn:eol-style LF "$f"
         rm "$f"
done
svn up

...within a module I am hacking in.
