dos2unix is already part of cygwin. 'cygcheck -p dos2unix' shows that it is part of cygutils, so I see no reason to repackage it as an alternative build.

Hi,

dos2unix on cygwin is different, it is 'conv'. The implementation I propose is used on major Linux distributions. You could keep 'conv' on cygwin. I propose to obsolete the links dos2unix and unix2dos to conv, and replace them with the dos2unix implementation as used on Linux.
