Dear Alexander Holler,
This is used for compatibility with text files which are
using CRLF instead of LF as the end of a line.

Why don't you run the file trough dos2unix or tr -d '\r' ?
Because my files don't contain CRs. ;)
s/you/someone else/ :)
Try to explain a windows user that a text file should not contain
carriage returns and how he can achieve that.
You'll do it once, maybe twice, than you will surrender. ;)
But you're fixing the problem at a wrong place, aren't you? Besides,
removing \r might harm some environments, don't you think?
No, there is no other layer between the user and that function.
Anyway, as already said, I don't care, just had this patch lying around
a year and I finally surrendered to post it here (in favor of those
users). But it seems I was right in not posting it. ;)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to this patch, nor I want to demotivate you
in further submissions. I'm just trying to figure out if actually surrending to
crappy software on one side is a good move on our side. I'd prefer to get more
oppinions from other people actually, I don't want the guilt to fall on me :-)
In the good old days (tm) with line printers and almost endless paper
from dead trees, CRLF instead only LF as line endings in text files did
made sense.
Regards,
Alexander
