I'm using protoc as the raw .proto parser for protobuf-net (I then
process the compiled binary for code-generation); at the moment, it is
very sensitive about line endings - if it isn't LF, it won't work.
This creates a bit of a nag for Windows users, as you have to go out
of your way to get the
Protoc treats \r as plain whitespace, so it should have no problem with
Windows line endings. I just tested this and sure enough, protoc works fine
with .proto files that use Windows-style line endings.
Mac pre-OSX line endings (\r with no \n) won't work if the file contains any
comments.

protoc actually expects its input to be UTF-8 (though non-ASCII characters
are only allowed in default values for string fields). It just doesn't like
the BOM.

OK... is there any way it /could/ silently ignore the BOM? ;-p
I can try to advise the caller to use files without BOMs, but protoc
reads UTF8 anyway it seems reasonable to accept a BOM?

If you want to write up a patch to recognize a UTF8 BOM and ignore it, go
ahead. You can just modify the Tokenizer class to recognize and discard a
BOM appearing at the beginning of the input.
