Reading the web it looks like my CVS clients might need options
setting, to avoid checking-in \r\n line endings.
http://osdir.com/ml/version-control.cvs.tortoisecvs.user/2005-01/msg00037.html

On Windows: TortoiseCVS and Visual Studio 9.
On Linux: CVS and gedit or kdevelop.

I'll try and get to the bottom of this before we release.
