Okay, I give up.

I've been trawling through websites, FAQs and Info documentation, to
no avail.

The problem is as follows:

I have a bunch of sources that were written on PCs, thus with CRLF
line termination.  I want to compile them on a Unix system, or
specifically, with GCC on Linux, which uses LF line termination.

Now all this is just fine and dandy, except some of the sources
contain \CRLF line continuation, which GCC interprets as a stray \CR
at the end of the line, and consequentially, crash and burn.

I've been unsuccessfully toying with macro defining the problem away,
and I've been searching for cpp options to inhibit this - I'd rather
not mess up the original sources.  Surely, somebody must have had this
problem before, and solved it somehow?
