Assuming KDE/Win will become more popular in the future and attrack more 
developers, and possibly even ISVs, isn't it more constructive to support 
CR/LF so people don't all have to be careful?

Currently it's just a handful of people working on KDE/Win and policies like 
'use LF only' are still manageable, but if the project grows in size that 
very well might not be the case anymore.

So, although more work, how feasible is it to keep CR/LF and instead fix all 
scripts? How large is the impact of such a change, i.e. how many files and 
scripts are affected?
