	You will suffer and suffer.  Then you'll suffer some more. 
Eventually, driven to madness by frustration, you will punt either 
WinCVS or Cygwin CVS and swear to use one and only one line end 
convention.  Then, sadder but wiser, with no more line ending problems 
to haunt you, you will find some other inadvisable course to chart, 
and your life will remain interesting.

        That's how it went for me, anyway...
