It would not be as bad as hacking DGD to translate CRLF into LF in
read_file().  But handling CRLF "automagically" never works completely
right, not even on Windows, where you cannot distinguish between
"Foo\r\n" as text and as a binary string.  In my view, DGD should be
able to make the distinction; I especially object to breaking this on
other platforms for the sake of misguided Windows compatibility.

Better to accept the discipline of using LF for line endings even on
Windows.
