[p4] Converting from CVS to P4 -- Line Endings

[Ivey, William]

We have occasionally encountered a file which contained a literal CR that was important.
You might want to make sure you strip the CR only from CR/LF pairs. (Usually this
situation is in a script in which CR is added to IFS so CRs are treated as whitespace.)

Yeah, if the files are all known to be text files I'd probably just strip
out all carriage returns (or whatever works in your case) in [a copy of] the
RCS files before proceeding with the rest of the conversion.
