Sorry, I expressed that poorly - I was trying to say that it shouldn't 
be necessary to see check how the file is *configured* (apart from 
possibly checking it isn't binary), but simply how it currently *is* - 
and even then, only how it is at the specific point being patched (ie, 
I've no expectation a patch operation will also cleanup unrelated EOL 
mixups in the file.)
