Earlier, I was trying to build LDPL on Windows (for æsthetic reasons, let's say) and stumble on a lenghty compilation error. ldpl_included_lib.cpp was ill-formed.
I had no such issue on GNU/Linux, and I quickly found out that Awk does not work well with DOS EOL. For instance, where you would expect:
I though it would be wise to mention in the README that windows user should change their git config to use Unix EOL. It's not like it's an issue with most available tools and editor nowadays.
I'll also check the documentation repo to mention this pitfall there as well.
