+ One tweak from Dave Mitchell.
+
+ [ 20674]
+ Make (hopefully) the Windows CR CR LF bug go away
+ by making the CRLF layer repel any other CRLF layers.
+ In other words: binmode(FH, ":crlf") in e.g. Win32
+ is effectively a no-op since there already is one
+ CRLF layer in the stack by default.
+
+ [ 20675]
+ Bye bye, bug.
+
+ [ 20676]
+ Make Johan's confusion go away, but there are no doubt more
+ similar cases.

+ Apply much of Ilya's microperl patch, but instead of
