[Cmake] Sharing source directories between Unix and Windows

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

Usually the mechanism used for accessing a unix source tree from 
a PC takes care of CR/LF problem.  So Samba or Maestro, etc. will
do the CR/LF conversion automatically.

While it sounds like a good idea to share a source tree between
a PC and Unix, in practise it is usually more trouble than its
worth. Tools like CVS get confused when accessing Unix drives
from a PC. CVS tries to do the right thing convert CR/LF and
the filesystem tries to do the right thing and convert CR/LF
and you wind up with a royal mess.

What I have done in for the past few years is use separate 
checkouts for Unix and PC. It means you cannot make a change
in the code and test it on Unix and PC before it hits the
repository but it seems to be the safest thing to do.

All cmake is doing is this:

 std::ifstream fin(path);
...
 if(fin.getline(inbuffer, BUFFER_SIZE ) )


I guess the ms getline is confused by the unix end of line...
