I think we have to agree on a line ending convention for the log
messages, too. If we're going to convert them, we might as well go all
the way.

BTW, the log message file templates for the $EDITOR functionality should
be created with native line endings; otherwise, Windows users, for
example, won't be able to use notepad as their editor.

Don't forget that the command line client needs conversions in _both_
directions.

Given the above, we _do_ need this last function, because log message
sanitization won't be just a charset conversion. Sorry, Greg. :-)

I think apr_filepath_merge already does that, if you don't set the
APR_FILEPATH_NATIVE flag. And vice versa, for output conversions.
