I don't get it. Basically when you take the SQL tests that fail with CRLF line 
endings and open them in Geany, I would assume that there will be tags missing 
in the sidebar.

In fact, since we are considering 2.0 release and making "breaking" changes, I 
was thinking we could switch to the ctags tag file format for tag file 
generation, unit tests and the tag files we ship. We could still keep support 
for reading the "proprietary" binary format we use now but using a more 
standard text format would be nicer IMO.
