Hi

I'm using this great tool to synchronize my private windows machine, a linux server \
and my unix account at work. Trying to be clever I wanted to synchronize the \
configuration files for unison too (some profiles and expecially a common file that \
is included in all  profiles).

I discovered that unison does not like CRLF line endings on unix, or at least not \
mixed line endings in included files. I finally found that unix line endings  (LF) \
only works on windows too.

So my day is saved, but I would suggest to accept any line ending during \
configuration file parsing, or doing a conversion to the canonical one.

I'd like to look into the source, but I did not have time, and I did not even test \
the behaviour of unison thoroughly (e.g. dont know what line endings the gui  uses \
when it adds to a config file on windows?)... so feel free to ignore me :)
