[DotGNU]pnetlib: Un*x file endings please

[S11001001]

Going through some patches, I noticed a pattern like this alot:

! contents
! of
! old
! file
SEPARATOR
! contents
! of
! new
! file

I figured out, this is because the old file used Unix file endings (0x0A), 
while the new file had been saved in a text editor that replaced all the file 
endings with DOS file endings (0x0C0A). The diff program doesn't pick up that 
this difference is unimportant, so instead of the nice diff it usually shows, 
what with +lines and -lines, it shows something where I can't pick up all 
differences just by looking at it.

So if someone could point out a good utility to convert CRLF to LF, and those 
not using software that preserves the original line endings could run their 
files through this utility before running make-patch.sh, it would be easier to 
do patch review, and hence faster to apply them.

p.s. I think if you pipe it through sed 's/\x0d\x0a/\x0a/', it should do the 
trick. for some reason that doesn't work though...anyway, after a diff it is 
too late to fix it.

Just proving that the quickest way to solve the problem is to post a
whine to the newsgroups: within moments the solution presents itself to
me, and meanwhile my ass is hanging out on the Net... *sigh*...
