title: Echo linebreak to file using Phing on Windows
body: <p>In my build script I'm trying to output the date and SVN revision number to a file in the build directory.  I would like the date and revision number on separate line, but can't get a linebreak to output to the file.  I've tried all sorts of methods: </p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;echo file="${build.dir}\build.txt"&gt;DATE = ${DATE} \r\n \\\r\\\n PHP_EOL&lt;/echo&gt;
      &lt;echo msg="DATE: ${DATE} \r\n \\\r\\\n PHP_EOL 0x0D0A SVN revision: ${svn.lastrevision} . PHP_EOL" file="${build.dir}\build.txt" append="true" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Has anyone else managed to get a linebreak through to file with Phing?  I've looked at the code in phing, and it uses fwrite.  I can only guess the strings in my build.xml are getting escaped in some way before being handled by fwrite?</p>
  
  <p>I guess I may have to resort to using ExecTask? </p>
