CRLF Newlines and libc

[Eric]

I am working on the subprocess.Popen module for Google Summer of Code.
Right now, I am having difficulty trying to work out how to deal with
my '\n' newlines being converted to '\r\n' newlines when reading from
a pipe on windows; see this blog post (http://subdev.blogspot.com/
2009/07/stdout.html) and this chain on Python-Dev (http://
mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-July/090720.html).

Right now, unless there is way to disable the newline conversions, I
am thinking I will just have to document the caveat and call it a day.
Is there a better way to handle this?
