I don't know about the Digital Mars compiler, but at least
Borland C/C++ 5.5 works fine with a Makefile (and source
files) that has UNIX line endings.
However...

Agreed.
Do DOS line endings cause any problems that you wish to remove them?
Or is it just for the sake of aesthetics? :-)
I ask this because if one were to edit "BCC_MAKEFILE" for some reason
and see its effects, it will have to be in a Win32 environment where
having DOS line endings is the most natural thing. Simple editors
like "Notepad" on Windows do not take very kindly to UNIX line
endings.
My 2p.
