[dsdp-ercp-dev] Most of the native code is committed as binary

I have just found that most of the C code in
org.eclipse.ercp.swt.core.win\win-native\impl is committed as binary. As
a result the line ending in those files is a total mess - there are both
CR+LF and LF for line ends. Two things comes from that:
 - some editors do not display the source properly (hopefully VS does);
the CVS client automatically convert line ends for the underlying
platform only if the file is committed as text
 - there are problems when creating patches for those files, Eclipse is
giving a warning that CVS doesn't handle the creation of patches for
binary files. Although when I explicitly confirm the patch is created

Is there any reason for these files to be committed as binaries?
