Replace does not preserve line endings in multi line tokens

           Summary: Replace does not preserve line endings in multi line
                    tokens
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: antoine@apache.org


The replace task does not preserve line endings properly.
In revision 1.46, I did a change to avoid \r\n to be changed into \r\r\n on 
Windows (problem reported via email by Morten Mortensen).
Now I have the problem that \n gets replaced into the system's line separator, 
in both source and replacement tokens.
This showed with the test9 of ReplaceTest failing on Windows when the files of 
the test cases were downloaded with the cygwin cvs client (so having \n instead 
or \r\n)
I am not sure what is the best way to tackle this issue.
Maybe not doing any replacements of line endings in (value, token) pairs ?
Not sure.
