Right, I was confused and forgot that this was exactly the original
problem.  So raw-text it is.  And yes, please prepare a patch.

Actually, no: it isn't equivalent.  Just raw-text tells Emacs to use
the default on encoding (thus -dos on Windows and -unix on GNU/Linux),
and to _detect_ the EOL format on decoding.  But I don't think this is
a problem in this case, is it?
