Annoying pit fall using apache on windows

I've been using apache to develop my php scripts, and landed on the most annoying bug ever, whoever ported apache to windows, did not allow using windows based ascii file format,
the outcome is that normal windows line breaks, are not read as such by the server,
which lead to my RewriteEngine on command to be part of the earlier command line (Options +FollowSymLinks) and apache simply couldn't understand that.

In the name of all that is sacred - yuch! what a nasty time "filler".
