Good point, you do have to do that if you want to use CrLfFileStream
ubiquitously.  It's easy to forget that there are people out there not 
using Squeak version Lex-current.  :)

On a similar note, if you have an old enough image, you might also
want to go through the FileDirectory methods like fileNamed:, and make
sure they reference FileStream instead of StandardFileStream--
otherwise file listings will still be messed up.
