Are you talking about on Cygwin or on some native unix?  I'm not sure it
makes sense to modify rsync to strip off carriage returns from every file
it reads.  On the other hand, that makes more sense than doing it for just
exclude files.  On Cygwin it should, certainly, but I think the cygwin 
option to handle that automatically has already been enabled.
