Description

OK, so I know that NKF support is not complete, but I figured I'd open a ticket just to record this issue.

Currently NKF does not support the linebreak modes windows (CRLF) and mac (CR), at least on Linux. Behavior on other platforms may differ.

Patch containing (mostly failing) linebreak specs is attached.

(It may be worth noting that NKF is detecting the presence of the few flags it does support with a home-grown option parser. It might be easier to build out support for the unimplemented options if that code was using a standard getopt-like library call. I'm not sure with what licenses are acceptable / compatible for JRuby contributions, but notably, JArgs is available under a BSD license.)

This is not specifically a Ruby 1.8.7 problem. Moving to extensions and removing target unless someone want to work on it....

I think we can close this since nobody showed interest in more 3 years.

I'm going to resolve this as Won't Fix, unless someone wants to tackle it.

With Ruby 1.9, it's obvious that the other one-off transcoding libraries like iconv and nkf are simply not the future of Ruby encoding support anymore. MRI's m17n has line termination support we have not yet implemented, and there are bug reports for that. NKF is just on its way out.
