Nevertheless I needed to do conversions a coupe of times myself and was

But frankly: what's wrong about having those in CRLF? Is there a
reasonabe way of using them with Unix line end format?
Just to close the discussion and hopefully we don't open it again
in few years :) ...
1. diff and patch doesn't work well with CRLF on unix.
2. copy/paste automatically converts between CRLF and LF on unix
in majority of editors.
3. Mailing patches will also wrongly translate line endings
4. some patch utils works with CRLF only by using brute force option.
Even then, they can convert the CRLF to LF from hunks, in which
case patched file is a mixture of CRLF-LF
5. We have a solution that unix2dos *.dsp and *.dsw as part of
release process.
Finally .dsp and .dsw files should go away.
Thus (not only for mod_jk) all text files in svn repo should always
have native line endings. period.
