cygwin can use cr/lf quite happily (for example all my bash scripts are 
edited in notepad) - it writes lf but then that's not really an issue 
since cvsnt can read lf only files without any extra options.

It clearly isn't much simpler as you have demonstrated - if you stick to 
the correct line endings for windows everything works as intended.
