Considering that 'eol' is "%R%N" under Windows, I don't think
that this will work with what some of the Eiffel compilers
currently provide us since it is likely that you will end
up with:

Hello world!%R%R%N

in your file, the %N (second character in 'eol') being
automatically converted to %R%N. To avoid this I would
have to use binary files instead of text files to 
implement the KL_*_FILE classes, but I don't think that
SmallEiffel has a binary file class in its lib_std, and
it would not work with the std files (which are text
files) anyway.
