I don't believe this really works like that at all.  All 'cvs' clients I
know of on Windows will convert line-endings on the fly when you checkout
unless the file is marked as binary in cvs.  This means all of the cvs
tree that I checkout uses 'cr nl'.  When committing, cvs compares but
ignoring line-ending differences.

(note: this causes a problem because the perl script pltclgen assumes the
files it is looking at have '\n' lineendings and so fails to generate
anything useful.  Also when I check out the two .fnt files they are
corrupted and cause plplot to abort when trying to use them -- no error
checking seems to be done! This seems to be because they are checked in as
ascii, which is not a good thing.  They should use -kb so cvs treats them
as binary files and doesn't destroy them on checkout to mac/win).

I've now checked in all my first set of changes.  People with windows
machines and VC++ installed should be able to test (the source code itself
that I have checked in will of course work on win/unix/mac with gcc or
whatever, BUT there is no build system for it at present).

cheers,

Vince.
