Not at the end of configure.bat, but rather at the beginning of
"make bootstrap". The point here is that running configure.bat does
not necessarily mean the user will be bootstrapping. If she doesn't
bootstrap, there's no reason to bother her about issues that are only
relevant to bootstrapping.

No, I don't think it is. If the effect is that "make bootstrap"
refuses to continue if line endings are not right, we've reached our
goal, right? This is similar to what lib-src/test-distrib.c does (for
every build, not just for bootstrap).

Thanks.
