Hi Derrell,
you are absolutely correct about the SVN, but many people download just the SDK
(qooxdoo-1.0.1-sdk.zip) and that contains line-endings that might be "foreign"
to their operating system[1].
So maybe a generator configuration switch is not such a bad idea?

[1] I'm not 100% sure, but I think the SDK ZIP-file even contained a mixture of
DOS/UNIX line endings...but don't quote me on that. ;) It's been a while
since I used that ZIP.
