Yes, but for a temporary fix so that things work at least closer to the way
they should, it is OK.  Neither MegaPov nor the official version will use
this hack, but if DOS people want to use it for now, they can.

Be aware that an elegant solution does exist, though:  just open the file
for binary read mode instead of text read mode.  This fixes basically all
CRLF problems.
