This is was marked as crazy stuff but certainly done by our developers in an 10 year old rcs like repository

This belongs to an conversion effort of quite matured repositories. I
do not know how many programs still write CR's as their line endings but
there certainly are/were some.
Anybody interested in that crazy stuff?
