I knew about the issue, but I have not yet done anything about it 
because it seems neither easy nor well defined, and implementing it 
properly is likely to cause some headaches, for example when stripping 
escaped newlines. IMHO using two characters to end a line is a bad idea.

I'll make an attempt at a --crlf option as soon as I find the time.

Best regards,
Antonio.
