I just grabbed the zip file from SourceForge and unzipped it, and all
the Win32 makefiles look fine to me -- CR/LF at end-of-line just like
they should be.  However, I checked this on Linux, not on Windows.  Is
it possible that WinZip (or whatever other package you're using) is
doing some sort of CR/LF translation by default?  Maybe because the
archive isn't marked as being created by Windows or DOS?

I'm clueless about .STRICT .  I'll have to defer to Johan on that one.
