Right, as Ingo said, just the '\n' should be sufficient, no need to worry about CR/CRLF/LF platform specifics. The reason it is necessary, I believe (I could be wrong), for a parent process, Windows doesn't actually notify the parent process of the stdout data until a newline is hit. So, if you spawn a process and monitor the child's stdout/stderr streams, you don't get that data until a '\n' is sent by the child. Which is why Ingo needs this change in Fossil in order to write a wrapper around it.
