I don't think this bit

does what you want.  DOS line breaks are \r\n; I think the above will
turn " \r\n" into " \\n\\\n\\n\\\n"  (i.e. introducing an extra blank
line).  Also, it leaves a backslashed newline alone, which may cause
problems with a compiler that treats \r as horizontal white space.

The rest of it appears to be safe.
