However, if in fact Emacs works the same on all platforms, maybe there is no reason for Etags to compensate for differences that do not exist (any more?). In fact, as back as I can go with the etags.c sources, I see that code has always been there, so unless I'm mistaken it's very very old. If what I write is correct, I'd go with removeing the different treatment of crlf on dos and unix.
