I'm not sure how win32text will provide anything other than performance degradation for non-Windows developers, but if there's functionality to be had, I'm happy to mandate its use on every platform.
This is all fairly hypothetical - if hg grew a .hgeols file, it would be good if it supported that cross-platform. It then may make win32text obsolete (in particular if it provided some useful defaults). On Unix, the functionality might be as simple as checking conformance with the eol-style at pre-commit time.
