I hope you do not change the policy. I've had problems with Windows line
breaks not only on Cygwin. I think it is better to keep all files in
Unix format.

Besides, any decent text editor on Windows (like Vim or Emacs) would
show Unix line breaks correctly - certainly Emacs doesn't' have any
problems with them, and since JDEE is an Emacs package let us just keep
the Unix way.
