However, if in fact Emacs works the same on all platforms, maybe there
is no reason for Etags to compensate for differences that do not exist
(any more?).  In fact, as back as I can go with the etags.c sources, I
see that code has always been there, so unless I'm mistaken it's very
very old.

If what I write is correct, I'd go with removeing the different
treatment of crlf on dos and unix.
