Right - so the files processed by the brain-dead windows apps are checked in
with \r\n and marked as exact.  The files processed by the brain-dead gnu
tools get checked in with \n and marked as exact.  Unless a braind-dead tool
from each of these categories needs to process the *same* file, I still
don't see the problem.

But best I can tell, if they were marked as 'exact', they *would* be correct
everywhere?
