Hi,
When building GNU gettext HEAD (0.20.1+) with MSVC 14, the creation of
libtextstyle.la fails, because it can't extract the members of several
sub-libraries (*.lib files). The reason is that the
lib -NOLOGO -LIST some.lib
lists the members, one per line, with a CR/LF as line terminator.
The file names given in subsequent commands to
lib -NOLOGO -EXTRACT...
thus end in a CR, and 'lib' does not unpack these members, complaining:
LINK : warning LNK4014: cannot find member object
libxml/.libs/rpl_la_tree.obj^M
The fix is simple: Remove the CRs in the pipe.

Subject: [PATCH] ar-lib: Fix for MSVC 14.
* lib/ar-lib (extract): Convert CRLFs in 'lib -NOLOGO -LIST' output to LFs.
