title: How do I get patch to ignore carriage returns?
body: <p>I'm attempting to apply a patch to a file with Windows line endings on a Linux system and I'm getting conflicts due to the carriage returns in the file.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>-l</code> option (ignore whitespace) isn't ignoring the EOL characters. <strong>Is there anyway to get patch to ignore windows style line endings?</strong></p>
