Running make dist on a Unix machine doesn't help anything if the text files have Windows-style (or Mac-style) line endings. The only thing that would help would be to convert all files to Unix-line endings before running make dist, which can be done on a Windows or Unix machine.

I use a test file by brian_d_foy that checks the line endings of all files in my distribution to ensure that all are consistent.
