[geos-devel] SVN - Line Feeds

[Charlie Savage]

I don't know.

Visual C++ doesn't seem to mind (since I had CVS setup *not* to convert 
line feeds).  But ever so often it gets confused if a file has mixed 
line endings, but then it warns you about it.

Not sure if there are any other compilers on Windows that are supported?

I can certainly play with configure.in if you want.
