/**
 * A buffered writer that gobbles any \r characters
 * and replaces every \n with a platform specific newline.
 * In many places Groovy normalises streams to only have \n
 * characters but when creating files that must be used
 * by other platform-aware tools, you sometimes want the
 * newlines to match what the platform expects.
