This is another patch that is required for MinGW.
Currently, running autogen.sh with a default MinGW install will break
when if the git repo was fetched using TortoiseGit/msys-git on Windows
as it defaults to converting the .ac/.am/.sh to CRLF.
Autoconf appears to have issues handling CRLF when strings are broken on
multiple lines, etc.
Right now, only the .ac seems to require LF, but I think it's probably a
good thing to enforce LF for all of .ac/.am/.sh as no system should
require those to be CRLF. For the record, this is what we use in another
project (libusb) that supports Linux/OSX/Windows.
