= Proposal to explicitly allow dos2unix =

In guidelines in common errors section https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Rpmlint_Errors there is the following phrase: This error occurs because of DOS line breaks in a file. Fix it with sed in the %prep section: %{__sed} -i 's/\r//' src/somefile -- DONT use dos2unix, that can cause build fail on FC3.

Because FC3 is not supported for long time, I'm proposing to change it to: This error occurs because of DOS line breaks in a file. Fix it in the %prep section with sed: or dos2unix. Here also  changed to simply   to be consistent with other parts of guidelines and wiki mark-up added to separate sed command, but this is not the essential part of proposal.
