better cross-platform support by making CRLF optional in output

           Summary: better cross-platform support by making CRLF optional in
                    output
           Product: XalanC
           Version: 1.4.x
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: XalanC
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: govoip@hotmail.com


The XMLSupport/FormatterToText::characters() function always replaces line 
feeds by carriage return/line feed characters in text formatted output based on 
definition of XALAN_NEWLINE_IS_CRLF macro.  This produces CRLF in output if 
Xalan is compiled and run on Windows machines and may not be always desired 
especially if the output is intended for Unix like systems.  FormatterToXML 
also does the same.  This requires the caller to do post processing of output 
to undo this effect.  A method to enable/disable this translation may be very 
useful for cross-platform support.
