Well #cr does a #nextPut:, and CrLfFileStream's nextPut: will
automatically change CR's to whatever the local system's convention
is.  So the only place in the system that knows any dirty work is
going on, is in the guts of CrLfFileStream, and the rest of the system
can just assume lines are CR delimitted.

By the way, CrLfFileStream was originally written by 'ar'.  That means
at least three people have had the same idea here--what a group!
