 Hello,

 Wouldn't it be better to make our code accept and ignore "\r" before "\n"
even under Unix? While most MSW programs handle Unix EOLs correctly
nowadays, some of them still don't, so it seems user-unfriendly to generate
the files that will mostly (almost exclusively, even) used under MSW in
Unix format.
