It's just about the format of data one puts into fossil. If I commit a
PowerPoint file, I wouldn't expect a warning "this file will not work
on UNIX". Neither do I expect such a warning when I commit UTF-16 or
CR/NL data. It's all about the file format and the tools used to
operate on them. If you have the proper tools installed, you can
perfectly handle UTF-16, CR/NL and even PowerPoint files on UNIX.

I was not able to commit using the -f flag in order to override the
CR/NL and the Unicode warning. Not sure about the binary warning, I
haven't tested that separately.
