Damn, I was having all sorts of fun looking through all that code. :)

Your patch does a lot more than I was originally looking for. I just 
wanted something to stop the parser spewing every time I moved 
development machines. It's not really that hard to write a fgets that 
takes anything and converts it to a given convention (such as \n), so 
I'm not really sure why this wasn't done by anyone earlier.

Keep up the good work, and let me know if there's anything I can do to 
help.

Kind regards,
