I was trying to debug a Bison parser recently. When you tell Bison to be
verbose, it writes output to a file called `foo.output'. On MS-DOS, this
becomes `foo.out'. Emacs does not strip the ^M's from this file. I assume it
thinks anything ending in `.out' is binary-- a logical assumption. I don't
know how big a problem it is, since one can always use `M-x find-file-text'.
