I'd maybe rather use "len > 0" as end condition, but that's just
cosmetics. Anyway, patch looks fine to me with one of these changes.
And for what it's worth, SLOF is doing a similar '\n' -> '\r\n'
convertion in its write function (see e.g.
https://github.com/aik/SLOF/blob/master/llfw/clib/iolib.c), so I think
this is the right way to go here, too.
