This relates to the switching from cygwin to MSYS as the primary Windows 
build platform. Although cygwin allows you to keep files in DOS format 
and translates them to unix format as necessary, MSYS only accepts files 
in unix format. It would therefore be necessary to translate any 
existing text files from DOS to unix line endings. To this end I did a 
sweep of my SeaMonkey tree to find files that weren't marked as binary 
when perhaps they should.
