Windows happens to end lines in a way that's gratuitously different from the
rest of the world. Check out the tofrodos package.

Since 90% of all computers are DOS/Windows, and got that method from
CP/M, which did it that way back in 1976/77, your "gratuitously
different" comment is absurdly wrong.
