Question re auto-props example in config file

The default .subversion/config file contains some helpful examples in
the auto-props section. Here's a snip:

*.c = svn:eol-style=native
*.dsp = svn:eol-style=CRLF
Makefile = svn:eol-style=native

My question is: why single out *.dsp for an svn:eol-style of CRLF?

By way of background, I have a lot of directories representing
libraries built both with Visual Studio in a Windows environment and
with gnu tools in a Unix environment. So a sample directory might
include:

lib/foo.c
lib/Makefile
lib/foo.dsp

My thinking would be to make all 3 of these files, .dsp included, set
svn:eol-style to native. That way, a developer on either side needing
to make a simple mechanical change (e.g. renaming foo.c to foo1.c)
could edit both respective build files in their env, and check them in
safely.

But the sample config singles out *.dsp. Am I missing something? Is
there a workflow where it would cause troubles if these are all set to
native?

Thanks,
Kylo
