EWWWWW!!! Putting CRLF conversion in the *kernel*?!? I'm pretty sure
NetBSD's mount_msdos doesn't have any such option (the manpage doesn't
show it).

When I have to do something on Windows, I either use the Windows build
of emacs, or PFE (Programmer's File Editor), which can be found by
searching for "PFE" on one of the shareware/freeware sites. Both will
automatically adapt to the current line-end convention of the file
being edited, and PFE will convert back and forth by just clicking a
little button at the bottom of the window.
