[Dev] lingering SVN binary vs. text problems

Hi Bear:

I'm still having trouble doing a svn diff on the command line in cygwin. 
Looks like there are still some lingering problems:

locale/*.po
wxPython/distrib/msw/MSVCIRT.DLL
wxPython/distrib/msw/MSVCP60.DLL
wxPython/distrib/msw/MSVCRT.DLL
wxPython/samples/embedded/embedded.o
wxPython/samples/embedded/embedded

are getting mucked by the end of line conversion since they're 
incorrectly listed as text files. One way you can make sure you've got 
all the files fixed is to do a fresh checkout on windows, making sure 
you're using native eols, do a svn diff in cygwin installed with cr/lf 
eols and make sure the diff is empty. Anyone who's done a svn checkout 
on windows should probably verify that an svn diff doesn't list files 
that you didn't change otherwise we may accidentally checkin a mucked 
binary file.

John
