[antlr-interest] C# line endings

[Terence Parr]

ANTLR uses a template written on unix so when I hit return it gives  
me \n.  ANTLR dutifully spits out that verbatim.  ST does have a  
writer filter that can be tweaked or added etc...  For example, ST  
has the auto-indent bits in the default writer.
