[Mono-list] A possible reason for getting newline problems

There is one caveat.
-kb prevents keywords expansion and even though it was advised not to use
CVS keywords in Mono (there was a discussion some time ago), it seems wrong
to enforce use of this option.
Since the problem with checkouts appears to be due to improperly mounted
Cygwin drives (textmode mount) it seems more appropriate to fix the cause.
Actually, it seems that there are two distinct problems, one is textmode
checkout and another is using an editor that can't handle default line-ends.

Anyhow, I worked with both types of files in Mono CVS - my C# sources have
DOS-style line-end, and my C sources have Unix-style line-end, works just
fine. In fact, editor problem appears to be much more annoying ;-)
