AFAIK on Windows the shebang is ignored completely unless you are 
running in an CGI environment.

Ruby itself does however extract the options from the shebang, I think 
it does not care about \n vs. \r\n.

Also in the next version of Ruby trailing carriage returns on ARGV will 
AFAIK be ignored.

I think right now it is probably safest to use \n. I'd also convert 
newlines to \r\n for the Windows release, though.
