It would mean that LF/CR would be treated as containing a blank line,
but, given that LF/CR isn't, as far as I know, supported as a line
ending by any of the protocols currently using "tvb_find_line_end()",
I'd be inclined to have it treat CR not followed by LF as a line ending,
and worry about handling LF/CR only if we see another capture with it -
and, even then, perhaps not worry about it, as using LF/CR as a line
ending might confuse a lot of receivers for text-line-based protocols.
