Can you not just run the build on unix?

Not true. Yes many applications 'know how to handle' unix line endings
on windows - but many then insert windows line endings (change the whole
file or just lines you modify). Visual studio is a culprit of this. If
you end up with a file of mixed line endings there is a chance you can
corrupt the repository when it is committed.

You appear to be asking for a new 'keyword expansion flag', something
that does not perform any line ending conversion, but is a text format,
eg: -kN or something. Since CVS is open source and also free you have
the freedom to modify the code to support this new feature then send the
patches in. I look forward to seeing your patches.
