Patch could look at the source file, try to figure out how "most" lines end,
and use the same line ending for new lines. How about new files though ---
which line ending to use there?
It is not that uncommon to end up with CRLF line endings in patches received
via email and/or from Windows. When running on a UNIX system, IMHO patch
should try to by a good citizen and default to UNIX semantics rather than
creating files with CRLF line endings. (Unless told otherwise, of course.)
