Objet : Re: [Dar-support] include-from-file filename separator

Hi,

as I'm lazy, I propose to add a new option that let user define the line
separation character. This will cover \0 and \n but also \t (tab) and so
on... whatever makes sense for other use case.

For now adding this to the TODO list

Cheers,
Denis
