CRLF translations by CPP?

[Matthew D. Langston]

Quick Description
-----------------
Is there a mechanism to enable egcs to properly parse multi-line cpp
macros that end with Backslash-CarriageReturn-LineFeed instead of
Backslash-LineFeed?

Detailed Description
--------------------
I help develop a library written in C that is primarily developed under
WinNT, e.g. each line of the source code ends with a
CarriageReturn-LineFeed.  The author of this library develops under
WinNT.  I develop under Linux using egcs.

This library makes heavy use of multi-line cpp macros.  Since this
library is developed under WinNT, these multi-line macros end with
Backslash-CarriageReturn-LineFeed instead of Backslash-LineFeed.  This
prevents egcs from successfully compiling the source files in the
library which use multi-line cpp macros.

Is there a way to enable egcs to properly parse files with lines ending
in CarriageReturn-LineFeed?  I was hoping for a solution that didn't
require me to use the `dos2unix' program (or an equivalent program) on
all of the source files of the library every time I receive patches to
the library source code.
