[Dev] lingering SVN binary vs. text problems

[Phillip J. Eby]

FYI, from Python 2.3 and up, .py modules are opened in "universal newline 
mode", which means that they will work with CR, LF, or CRLF endings, 
regardless of the runtime platform.  So, Python shouldn't have any issues 
with any type of line ending.
