Hmmh, I'm using cygwin to check in and out sources (using unix line feeds) and 
have no problems, (I recently tried to compile this with msvc.net) I'm . 
wondering where this problems comes from, because regular cvs clients under 
windows would checkout this with LF or at least with cr/LF, but not with 
cr/cr/lf. How do you proceed checkout with this curios results ?
