[jdom-interest] I just pulled down the latest source via WINC VS

[Peter V. Gadjokov]

Maybe I'm not quite understanding the original problem, but is fixcrlf
really needed? Id mofifies files checked into the repository at build-time,
which is unusual and unexpected, usually.  Doesn't checking in a build.bat
and a build.sh as binary with the correct line endings take care of this? I
noticed tomcat has a similar directive so there is probably some reason for
doing this I'm missing.

Makes sense.  I think we need a "make dist" target that makes a
distribution and that's the target that should have the fixcrlf.  It's
only when the code might leave your machine that you need to worry about
such things.
