preconv(1) says:

    Trailing '-dos', '-unix', and '-mac' suffixes of
    coding  tags (which give the end-of-line conven-
    tion used in the file) are stripped  off  before
    the comparison with the above tags happens.

Why not pay heed to these suffixes instead of strip-
ping them and always assuming  '-unix',  and  assume
'-dos' on Windows?
