The problem isn't about MAC line endings not working. I could care less
about line ending requirements, I'll go with whatever works. The main
problem I have is that CMake didn't TELL me what the problem was. It should
have said, "Hey dummy, your line endings are unacceptable. Please change
them to LINUX line endings". That would have saved me hours of time!
