Can't say I care.  The checkin msg showed a teensy context diff, and I
couldn't measure the time difference between CVS applying a patch or
replacing the file.

Don't know, haven't tried.  See above for "don't care" <wink>.  If you
determine it still works with plain \n line ends, OK by me if you change
'em.
