"\r\n" vs "\n" between Unix and Win

I would say that the best way to do this, was to use textpad or another
editor for windows which actually saves files with \n, instead of \r\n (you
can choose UNIX-style or Windows-style). It's never a good solution to apply
a "fix" to a file just because another program doesn't behave like it
should. The best solution is always to fix the problem where it's at, ie.
what's causing the problem.
