If you have problems with the CVS version, you should first check the
emacs-devel and emacs-pretest-bug mailing lists (archives are at
http://mail.gnu.org/ and http://news.gmane.org/). If your problem is
not already being talked about there, then report it using Emacs'
built in bug reporting capability. That will ensure the report goes
to the correct place.

That is neccesary in the nt and leim/CXTERM subdirectories if you use
a DOS/Windows CVS client that changes the line-ends as it checks
out. Recent versions of WinCVS and any version of Cygwin CVS can work
in a mode where they do not change line-ends.
