Oh. Right. I was only thinking in terms of the .dsp issue, where the person
creating the tarball/zip is packaging them on Unix. Hmm... not sure what I
was thinking. It just sounded "right" there for a bit.

Thanks for the head bounce. :-)

Okay... with more thought this time:

* export obeys the line endings property. all files end up in "native"
  format where specified. files with a specific format get that one.

* export has a switch to specify what "native" is translated to. this allows
  a unix packager to do:
  
      $ svn export --newlines=CRLF http://host/path -d package-X.Y
      $ zip package-X.y
