This would be wrong! I "love"/"hate" WinCVS(*) for this every day, but
as already said by Ben, it's the wrong approach to the problem.
Please, consider using a better/smarter editor that does not hurt your
sources that way.

ciao, lele.

(*) CVS does not work with cr-lf convention, so WinCVS has on option
to automatically add/remove that "spurious" (I'm maybe too biased here
:) CR. But I think the convention used should not be a matter of the
version control system, that IMHO *should*not* alter my source in any
way.
