I don't know if parens are the right way to make strings in regexps, but
none of the following worked (in the place where \n was):
\n\r
(\n\r)
(\r\n)
The last one looks silly, I wonder if any system uses such a line
break. The first one would catch any of the characters. As this is UNIX
I doubt there are carriage returns on my files (but emacs could use its
own internal convention for line breaks).
