First the *government* sends *me* a check, now the first glimmer of hope
appears in solving the heretofore-assumed-NP-complete text file line ending
problem which has plauged computer science since prehistoric times.  Man I
love living in the future.  Thank you Eric for your doggedness in getting
this implemented and (hopefully) accepted.

Here's hoping this can default to "on" upstream.
