Not all Windows editors choke on \n line endings; when I'm on Windows
and run into one, I open it in Wordpad (or, if I have one, a dedicated
programming editor like SciTE or the Open Watcom editor). AFAIK only
Notepad (of standard Windows utilities) has trouble.

Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
