ITP dos2unix 5.3-1

[Erwin Waterlander]

Hi,

I propose package 'dos2unix' for cygwin. Dos2unix is part of Fedora, 
Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware, and Arch Linux. The homepage is 
http://www.xs4all.nl/~waterlan/dos2unix.html

Big thanks to Charles 'Chuck' Wilson who helped making this release and 
solving the issues found in previous version 5.2.1-1.

Dos2unix works different wrt symbolic links compared to cygutils' 
d2u/u2d. By default symbolic links are untouched (as on Linux). By using 
the option --follow-symlink (or -F) dos2unix works similar as cygutils' 
d2u, writing to the symbolic link target.
Another option --replace-symlink (-R) makes that symbolic links are 
replaced with the output, keeping the target unchanged. This was the 
default behaviour of dos2unix prior to version 4.1 (Dec 2009).

For Cygwin the commands 'd2u' and 'u2d' have been added.

DOS/Windows, and (pre OS-X) Mac, as well as perform certain other 
character set manipulations."
