You've got the keyverb:  overdo

We've already got d2u.  There is a point in making bash scripts work 
with CRLF endings but at the expense of a slower and a little bit larger 
bash, I think.  (If I'm wrong here, I'm sorry, I haven't seen bash's code.)

d2u is much simpler.  For the sake of simplicity and elegance, let's go d2u.

Best Regards,

Carlo
