You must be kidding... Apache works fine with httpd.conf with Windows or 
Unix line delimiters....

It is generally extremely trivia to strip off/ignore a CR if found in a 
line. In C, C++, Perl, etc. takes about one statement...

98% of the Unix utilities seem to handle it fine.

What is the issue with CPX not being able to parse a file with CRLF?
