Separated from #3315
Cross builds from Linux and using release tarballs results in files being installed with LF line endings. Windows likes CRLF, though, so we should convert line endings on installation if necessary, using `unix2dos` or similar.
Maybe it's not an issue afterall, recent Windows versions handle LF better AFAIK.
I don't know if notepad alone is an indication but see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/extended-eol-in-notepad/, this fix is included in Windows 10 and 11 (i.e. notepad can handle LF)
Agree, as I said in https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/3315#discussion_r1002602492 perhaps we can just forget it? :smiling_imp:
