[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#364176: wish8.4 sends extra CR's to terminal

Simple, there are two conventions for end of line: LF as in UNIX, and
CRLF, as in MS-DOS. CRCRLF means they are not aware of what they are
sending, and how it will be interpreted in some environments.
Might as well append 5 0x0 nulls and 4 0x20 space characters to each
line too, as they probably are invisible to some users, but not me.
