Bjoern kindly offered to do a Python version of a pre-commit hook once; it was 
more complex, but can we at least try the CRLF check?  Bjoern, would you be 
willing to provide that, if Heiner agrees to use it?

[IIRC, the main concern was the use of the overriding mechanism, but I still 
think it would be better than nothing, more so if the hook provides an exact 
info what to do to fix the situation.]

Thank you,
Kendy
