Line endings again

[Nicholas Allen]

I just found an option for Eclipse that can specify the new line ending
when creating new files. Also, it seems to preserve the line ending
style of files it opens. So the situation is not as dire as I thought
;-) As long as every developer remembers to set the line ending style to
unix for new files things should be ok. But still I think this is a
pretty essential feature of an RCS so I hope it gets fixed soon....
