Why not just control the source with a CVS server? CVS can deal with
changing line-ends etc. You then designate one machine at the server
and the other as the client.

$ (cd project && make clean)
$ zip -rl project.zip project
(You can also use -i to include only some kinds of files in the
archive).

Or you can use "unzip -a" on the Unix box to unpack the files,
converting CRLF back to LF only.

If you cannot use zip/unzip, GNU recode will do in-place CRLF
translation.
