Editors aren't the problem, at least not for people smart enough to
use arch.  It's the toolchain.  Eg, Make's infamous use of TAB
characters.  Apparently even though Windows internals understand '/'
as a path separator, Windows compilers don't grok '\n' as a line
separator and get all unhappy with Unix files, and ISTR the opposite
is true for some Unix utilities.
