Hello Matt,

I am -1 to change the way ant stores manifests. At least if you want to change 
something, do not change the default behavior. Adding an attribute to choose 
the eol style of the manifest is OK, as long as the default behavior does not 
change.

If you change the default behavior, Windows users of jars built under Unix will 
complain. \n without \r under Windows is displayed in notepad as a square.



Regards,

Antoine
