Coding style RFC...

I vote as is: +1.

About the last item: "All source code in CVS should be in Unix text 
format as opposed to DOS text mode."

I do agree with this requirement, but then should we also talk about 
tabs vs spaces, or would this belong more in coding style RFC?

Anyway, to avoid scaring away Windows users on this one, it is not 
necessary for them to strip-off DOS linefeeds before they do a commit 
since the Windows CVS client takes care of that automatically (that's 
true only on Windows though). The problem you are trying to avoid here 
happens most of the time when someone edits a file on Windows and 
commits it from a Unix/Linux box.

I don't think this clarification needs to be added to the RFC, but it 
will be good to have in the -dev list archives in case anyone wonders 
why this clause is there.
