Na.  Most native Windows apps (including native Windows Python) don't
care whether \n or \r\n in used as the line terminator in text files. 
This is because the platform C library changes \r\n to \n on input of
a text-mode file, and leaves \n alone:  the difference is literally
invisible to most apps.
