Agree with Jose on this one. While we don't have any \n\r instances
in-tree, this will cause some annoying churn for out-of-tree code
which depend on \n\r.

Do we want to use {} here, just like the Makefile(s) a couple of lines above ?
Side note: we have a few python scripts which don't end with .py that
we might(?) want to rename.

We don't have any such files in-tree. Considering the above comment
can we drop this ?

IMHO having something is always better than none. So fwiw I'd just
keep this file.

Thanks for going through and adding all of these :-)
