There is before-save-hook. It could be (time-stamp). You could add  
(via the customisation interface) another function that changes from  
DOS to UNIX file endings, (set-buffer-file-coding-system coding- 
system &optional force nomodify).

Another option is to put into your init file:

        (prefer-coding-system    'utf-8-unix)

although I doubt that this would change *existing* line endings.  
Can't plink be taught to prefer UNIX style line endings? If it's so  
dumb than you should learn to prefer GNU Emacs and TRAMP ...
