Please do not post "non-Rcpp" questions here. This really is a basic "how do
I work with Unix and Windows without going crazy" question, and those have
been asked and answered a million times.

I once needed a solution in the builds process of an R package [ littler, if
anyone cares ... ] and cooked up this.  Surely not optimal, but it gets the
job done:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

## simple 0d 0a -> 0a converter to suppress a warning on Windows

filename <- commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE)[1]
if (!file.exists(filename)) q()

con <- file(filename, "rb")
bin <- readBin(con, raw(), 100000)
bin <- bin[ which(bin != "0d") ]
close(con)

Sys.sleep(1)

con <- file(filename, "wb")
writeBin(bin, con)
close(con)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

But again, let's try to keep this list focused on Rcpp.
