Which is the "more robust", though? dired-do-query-replace-regexp 
doesn't work with Tramp. dired-do-find-regexp-and-replace does.

And even if the former is fixed to work, the latter will work much 
faster remotely. It's also going to be faster in many "local" cases too.

If we don't manage to find a portable enough solution to do multiline 
searches, we could at least warn the user interactively about 
unsupported features, though.
