Line Break Handling Request

Currently I'm using the MacOS version of Hugs. The Macintosh platform is 
undergoing a sort of evolution towards Unix, and text files may either 
have traditional MacOS linebreaks (CR) or Unix linebreaks (LF). MacOS 
Hugs only works with the former.

I think all platform-versions of Hugs should accept all kinds of 
linebreaks:
CR (as MacOS)
LF (as Unix)
CR LF (as Windows)
...as line breaks.

If you ever get around to supporting Unicode, you should also handle 
\u2028 and \u2029, but that is a separate issue.
