Taking the context of the particular example we have into account I
wouldn't be surprised.  All the AUCTeX files have Unix-style line
endings.  So I would not be surprised if a file created during the
setup process had such line endings as well.  In the end, LANG=C
doesn't really have a meaning under Windows, does it?
