Hm.  There already is code in kawa/standard/read_line.java to
handle CRLF.  If it doesn't could you try to debug it?

There is also code in gnu/text/LineBufferedReader.java to
handle CRLF, but you may need to call setConvertCR(true) first.

The difference is that if setConvertCR(true) is called, then
CRLF (or CR not followed by LF) gets converted to LF, at the
character level.  However, read-line is supposed to convert
CRLf to LF whether or not setConvertCR(true) has been called,
so if it doesn't work, it would be great if you could figure out why.
