So since this isn't the case is there someone to contact who would consider 
adding this... the objcopy guru.

Hmm... same reason I fixed my tire instead of just pumping it up with air 
every day ;-)
No seriously, why not make it right to begin with. It just seems odd to 
everyone I know that we are using Linux etc. and then we are getting this 
DOS file out of it that we have to teach everyone to use this dos2unix 
command - then lots of them don't even have dos2unix installed on their PCs, 
to "fix" the srecord file. The windows guys just think it is funny...
