I do not believe Subversion does any other kind of conversion either.
Stefan, what happened last time? Did you just get tired of the back
and forth and decide it was easy enough to handle in your build
system? It seemed like you addressed all the comments though, why did
this not get applied?
I am not a C programmer, but looking at the code, it looked like you
conditioned it based on something you are DEFINE in your own buld
system. Could we just make it always do this when building on WIN32?
