Autocorrecting things is a dangerous thing imho. Its likely to do more harm as good. Warnings is more approriate if all (similar to the API prefix check that was implemented into pear package).
[..] Forcing people to use correct line-endings does not solve the problem. After CVS checkout on Windows, line-endings will be converted to CRLF, even if checked in files used CR. After issueing pear package, the tarball will contain files with "wrong" line-endings. I do think we need auto-conversion (either in packager or in installer), if we care about line-endings. Doing it in installer seems more reasonable, 'cos otherwise problems with md5 checksums would come up.
