Editors may do, but at least Borland's C++ compiler chokes in some 
situations if the line ending is LF-only.  (Specifically, it'll compile 
most stuff fine, but will object to #pragma directives - evidently, 
their parser is broken, but it's nonetheless a coding tool that doesn't 
work with LF-only.)
