[stringtemplate-interest] Outputting '\n' line separators for other EOL convention.

[Terence Parr]

Hi. Call StringTemplateGroup.setStringTemplateWriter to return a  
AutoIndentWriter using this ctor:

	public AutoIndentWriter(Writer out, String newline) {
		this.out = out;
		indents.add(null); // s oftart with no indent
		this.newline = newline;
	}

not this one:

	public AutoIndentWriter(Writer out) {
		this(out, System.getProperty("line.separator"));
	}

Should work great!
