The name of the C++ standard is (ANSI+)ISO+IEC+14882-1998 -- in case you
want to write into Flex documentation what it is suppoesed to be compatible
with. :-)

If you have not already made it that way, I think one should be able to
choose if one wants to have EOL to be \n (UNIX), \r (MacOS), \r\n (DOS,
MSOS) or a combination of them (like all three). If the line counting
feature is on and \r\n is admitted as EOL, it should only increment line
numbers by one, not two.
