This isn't Windows-only code, and it's not code that only I'm
touching. If someone's checking it out in Linux to compile in Linux
normally, then it should have Unix line endings as usual.

It's easier because it's a fully configured CLI that I already have
running all the time, which does everything the way I want. I don't
want to have to do half of my CLI work from a clumsy Cygwin window,
especially since I have working copies in both Linux and Windows that
I deal with simultaneously.

Visual Studio just doesn't understand it. It'll load them and do
basic editing fine, but copy/paste leads to mixed newlines.
