This _is_ the right thing to do--there’s no reason naive programs written in
Emacs Lisp should have to worry about different on-disk representations of
line-endings. If you want to open a file which uses \015 as its line
endings, and have those \015 characters appear in the buffer, open it using
a coding system ending in -unix. C-u C-x C-f /path/to/file RET
iso-8859-1-unix RET in XEmacs, something I don’t know but I’m certain exists
in GNU Emacs.
