[stringtemplate-interest] Remove carriage returns

[John Snyders]

Because the source contains CRLF and the output just LF it makes me think
that this is an OS new line convention issue. If so you might try a source
editor that is happy with just LF as new line. Many code editors can be
configured for this. Then your source would just have LF in it and no need
for any transformation.

StringTemplate allows you to create your own StringTemplateWriter. This
gives you final control over the output. You should be able to strip CR at
this point. The advantage is that you don't have to wait for the whole
output to be available. You can pipe the output of your template directly to
the consumer. Look at NoIndentWriter and AutoIndentWriter implementation for
ideas. I have not created my own Writer yet.

Another option would be to preprocess the template to remove CR before
invoking the templates. There are various dos2unix commandline tools for
this. You can make it part of the build.
