I'm not completely sure about RMCL, but MCL had support for this.
In fact, it would appear that RMCL 5.2.1 already supports multiple end- 
of-line characters, namely:

   CCL::EOL-CHARS,  Value: (#\Newline #\Linefeed #\20050 #\20051)

so that should allow both the CR (#\Newline, same as #\Return)
and the LF (#\Linefeed) character, along with a couple other unicode?  
characters.


Poking around, I also see

   *TRANSFORM-CRLF-TO-CARRIAGERETURN*
   *TRANSFORM-CRLF-TO-PREFERRED-EOL*

There also appears to be *preferred-eol-character*:

*PREFERRED-EOL-CHARACTER*
[variable]
The character to use to denote end of line
when a Fred buffer is written to a file.
NIL means leave content as is.
