The average Mac user doesn't transport media across operating systems and is oblivious of the hidden helper files Mac creates (only hidden because they are preceded with "." which is completely visible to any other OS) I.E. the author's files appear alright on their own system so they don't know they've included those files.
Something else is line endings -- sometimes you get a .cfg file that has no line breaks because it was made in Mac or vice-versa (this is a little more obscure to me)
It seems like LF is more common than CRLF. I think other windows applications than notepad (or whatever is default) can detect LF or CRLF. I could be wrong. Also, AC shouldn't mind.
Maybe the upload script should remove all MACOSX and hidden files. Its a hard thing to ask people to remove those files, as they appear whenever you open a folder (or something like that), as they store display settings.
