Any chance we can update the IDL compiler to work with any type of new line
characters?  As long as we are working with it anyway it would be really nice to
have this.  I receive source files many times a week over email from other
platforms to confirm that they build on Mac before a checkin.  Each of the IDL
files has to be converted to have Macintosh end of line characters before I can
build it with the idl compiler.  Our C++ compiler does not have this restriction,
only our idl.

This is not a Webtools:Bugzilla bug, but I had no idea how to file this one

Changing to assigned, and moving the product to the browser.  (I want to move to
browser, xpidl component, but the page won't let me yet...)

I fixed this a while ago, by changing the compiler to normalize all line endings.

OK, should be fixed.  Marking as such.
