 It's too late for this round, but I believe I have come up with a fix that
 will allow me to build tar balls under mingw windows (#645).  It's a
 "Treat me like a Unix user" not a windows or Mac user.

 The issue I see it is that svn because it defaults the line break to
 native mode -- it sees me as a Windows user and kindly pulls all the files
 down with windows linebreaks. In most cases, windows doesn't actually care
 the line break (I haven't checked VS so we may need to make special
 provision). If VS cares, then its already screwed by the tar ball which is
 Unix linebreaks.

 It's only Unix/Linux that are picky.

 So solution, change all files to eol-style=LF. I believe there is an
 equivalent for git.

 Does anyone see an issue with this?
