While those options might work for the XOM source base, neither would 
be appropriate for the data files used in the XInclude tests, which 
are *very* picky about white space, and which test several different 
line ending conventions. In fact, they are more picky than the 
XInclude specification itself, which actually has several examples 
that are incorrect due to white space errors.

What's needed is a way to tell CVS not to touch the line breaks, to 
just take what's there. I'm not sure if this can be done on the 
client. Possibly I can do it on the server by marking the files as 
binary. Though then patches and diffs don't really work. However, 
that may be the best solution.
