The FLINT svn is not set up to use eolnative, and this is unlikely to
change. And I edit using Windows exclusively.

I could add dos2unix to my list of things to do for a FLINT release.

This is certainly not at all a problem with zn_poly by the way. I'm
pretty sure most of the FLINT files will have DOS line endings, it's
just that zn_poly has been included in recent versions of FLINT
(though it also occurs separately in Sage too).
