Probably by 0.1% of the general Lazarus users. In that case, the Lazarus
editor can simply detect that it's a .lfm and always use CRLF when
saving it. It already detects the .lfm because of syntax highlighting.

And I was just about to submit another *huge* patch simply because I
resized a TGroupBox. Which is when I started investigating the issue and
found the problem is the EOL characters.

That it is perfectly acceptable (and practised in the real world) to
have some files always adhere to a specific EOL character, no matter
what platform is used.
