Handling of unix newlines

[poelstra]

It seems that comment parsing is sensitive to the type of line ending.
For example, the comment parser doesn't recognize @param or @returns if I save the file with Unix line endings (LF only), but it does work when I save with Windows line endings (CRLF).

I've added an AUTHORS.txt file, feel free to add yourself the list if you like to.

Thanks! I'll do that when I actually made a significant contribution :)
