As most other operating systems that have a line endine sequence other than NL, I think Windows C library *correctly* does NL->CRNL conversion on stdout unless you somehow explicitely tell it that the output should remain unconverted. njs> if that's the case (and I'm just guessing) then we might not be njs> able to fix it.

One way to fix it is to have a --output parameter, to have an explicit output file that monotone can treat the way it sees fit. This might ctually be the cleanest way to do it, considering other operating systems may have yet other tweaks to get this right.
