WProject does not work on Linux

See original GitHub issue

When writing solution file using the WProject handler the file is not correctly written on Linux systems. WVisualStudioVersion seems to have the same problem.

This is probably because on Linux the AppendLine does add only LF instead of CR + LF. WProject simply cuts off two characters.

I have created a pull request for this located @ https://github.com/3F/MvsSln/pull/58. It is a fairly naive fix as it does not address the potential concerns about the official sln format, sln files being generated on Unix platforms then used on Windows etc. however, implementing this fix ensures functionality remains exactly the same when used on Windows platforms, and at least prevents the output sln from being corrupted when being used on Unix platforms.

Switching from AppendLine to Append(..."\r\n") or even something with a configurable line-break should solve this issue. Not sure, if there is an easy way to test how old NET Framework or Mono versions work - but if you can configure it, there shouldn’t ever be an unsolvable issue. We could then set that property to Environment.NewLine by default
