The goal of this one-line fix is to avoid excessive newline diff in  
Initializer.Generated.cs when one runs ClassInitGenerator on  
non-Windows platforms.

Since the canonical newline character in the IronRuby repository is  
\r\n, it makes sense to explicitly use it when generating  
in-repository source file.
