Actually, it seems that there are some Mac-derived files with only \r, 
and no \n at all (as a recent example, EndNote 6 exported 
bibliographies have no \n's, only \r's by od -c's reckoning).

We don't have issues writing files, only reading one-line-at-a-time and 
canonicalizing it (why do we need to canonicalize it again, Jason?)
