[python-win32] adodbapi and .hgeol

[Vernon D. Cole]

I found the following on [pywin32-checkins] this morning:

No matter how old you get (I just turned 63) you still have new things to
learn. Until today, I have been completely unaware of an .hgeol file.

Since adodbapi now also runs on Linux, I had better make sure the line
endings stay right. Python does not care, nor does the Pythonwin IDE
editor, but I have not been consistant about what editor I use, which may
be the cause of this problem.

My quick reading of the documentation for .hgeol leads me to believe that
setting the entire adodbapi path to =bin is not the correct way to handle
this.  I will adapt my other mercurial repository to match this -- but I
want to do it right this time.  What line ending style are my Python and
.txt files supposed to have?  I will adapt my source.
