The NTEmacs switch is (using-unix-filesystems t)
but that hits everything.  You can do it fs by fs (actually dir tree by
dir tree) by using untranslate.el; search the NTEmacs FAQ (
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html
) for "untranslate".

Uh, sure, if you are into obfuscation and exercising the optimizer, but

        while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
                if (c != '\r')
                        putchar(c);

does exactly the same thing.
