 Please could augeas support all line-endings for XML files?

 Below is an example that fails due to Windows line-endings. Note that
 xmlstar reports the file as valid.

 $ cat /tmp/web.xml
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

 $ xmlstarlet val /tmp/web.xml
 /tmp/web.xml - valid

 $ augtool
 augtool> set /augeas/load/xml/lens "Xml.lns"
 augtool> set /augeas/load/xml/incl /tmp/web.xml
 augtool> load
