In order to prevent others from running into this same issue I think we
should add a note to
http://curl.haxx.se/dev/source.html
right after 'Windows users might fancy tortoisegit or msysgit.'
*Note*: msysgit ships with a gitconfig which causes almost all files to
be converted to CRLF format; if you intent to run a configure build with
MSYS/MinGW then this will badly fail! You have to edit gitconfig and
change the setting in the [core] section from 'autocrlf = true' to
'autocrlf = input'. Another option is overwriting this setting when you
clone: git clone -c autocrlf=input URL

Another option we could do in our GIT would be to at least add *.c and
*.h to .gitattributes to so that they are also always forced to be
checked out in LF format; AFAIK all compilers can deal with this.
