Hi Louis,

Yes, this is good, and Squeak already has this.  It is accessible with
MultiByteFileStream class>>lineEndDefault (or the class variable
LineEndDefault) in that class.

Except that it isn't working - it is hooked up to the startUp routine to
determine what it should be, but does not appear to be called.  I'll need
to look into that.
