I put this back in distutils category instead of Python core.  I read over 
what I had written (and the response from kbk) and it is obvious that I 
wasn't clear. 
 
A Windows developer that uses distutils would be frustrated by their 
scripts not working on Unix/Linux because of the cr-lf endings, even if 
they had included the Unix/Linux '#!/usr/bin/env python' as the first 
line. 
 
I am asking that when _distutils_ installs an executable script that the 
line endings in each executable script are set to those appropriate for 
the target machine. 
 
In this way a Windows programer can ignore the line-ending formats of 
their scripts and distutils will quietly take care of the problem. 
 
sorry for the confusion and I hope that I have explained my idea 
better.
