According to the Unicode spec, we *should* treat all of the following as "new
lines":
U+000A Line feed
U+000D Carriage return
U+000D U+000A Carriage return, line feed
U+0085 Next line
U+000C Form feed
U+2028 Line separator
U+2029 Paragraph separator
...but I don't think it's unreasonable to specify one line ending in
particular for the nuts and bolts of the gEDA file format. :) Hence my
amended spec.
