The ASF maintains those files in CVS as text files (which they are, so it
makes a certain amount of sense). However, that means that they end up with
the newline style for whoever is packaging the code. If you get them from a
.tar.gz file, then (most likely) the packager was running on Unix and
they'll (incorrectly) have unix-style newlines.

Normally, the ASF provides both .tar.gz files and .zip files. Where the .zip
is exactly the same source except for the newline style. We haven't been
doing the same thing for SVN, so the files are messed up for Windows users.

I'm not sure what the best answer here is. There are quite a few options...
