cvs commit: hugs98/src input.c

[Sigbjorn Finne]

It seems to work, but  given the amount of bugs & issues the topic
of line termination have been the source of in numerous other
cross-platform systems, my humble opinion is that it would be
prudent not to make this change so close to a new release.
