Actually, Dave, this isn't always true.  The draft CGI spec
(draft-coar-cgi-v11-00) says that CGI scripts under UNIX and AmigaDOS
are supposed to use just a linefeed but recommends 'servers SHOULD
also accept CR LF as a newline' for compatibility.  For other
platforms, no line terminator is mandated.
