At the time the universal newline code was committed, there was discussion whether or not it should be optional.

I'd like to propose that it doesn't need to be optional: having a configuration option for it complicates the build documentation, and the space savings that one may gain from disabling it are minimal. So I volunteer to remove the #ifdef machinery around it. Any objections?

Well, we don't know yet whether it will work on non-mainstream=20 platforms. It'll probably be okay on BeOS or Amiga or such (and maybe the=20 maintainers of those platforms track CVS anyway?), but I wouldn't vouch for Windows=20=

CE or so.
