There's a setter, but not easy to find.

You cannot set it on the command-line via "clisp -Efile 1:1 -Eterminal 1:1"
only via the setter. Thanksfully derived streams get it from the parent.

$ clisp -Efile 1:1 -Eterminal 1:1 -q
[1]> *DEFAULT-FILE-ENCODING*
#<ENCODING CHARSET:ISO-8859-1 :DOS>
[2]> *TERMINAL-ENCODING*
#<ENCODING CHARSET:ISO-8859-1 :DOS>

#<ENCODING CHARSET:ISO-8859-1 :DOS>
[4]> (setf (stream-external-format *standard-output*) (ext:make-encoding :line-
terminator :unix))
*** - SYSTEM::SET-STREAM-EXTERNAL-FORMAT on #<IO TERMINAL-STREAM> is illegal

#<ENCODING CHARSET:ISO-8859-1 :UNIX>
[7]> (system::set-terminal-encoding (ext:make-encoding :line-terminator :unix))
#<ENCODING CHARSET:ISO-8859-1 :UNIX>

The -E arg is only for the charset, not for the line ending. See
encoding_from_name.

I agree with you. For the reader it is better to detect optional CRLF,
but the stdout *standard-io* and stderr writer *debug-io* should
produce LF only.
Same for the *default-file-encoding*. Esp. annoying since you cannot
set it on the command-line.

For me it is true during clisp compilation.
I had to change the patch to fix the WIN32 section,
not the UNIX one. I'll check which optional header defines WIN32.
