I also do `tr' in cases `recode' is not handily available.  By default,
`recode' protects timestamps when recoding a set of files over themselves,
but it does not recurse into directories.  To change CR-LF into LF for a
whole project, I guess that `find -type f | xargs recode /cl' would do.
To go from LF into CR-LF, I would use `find -type f | xargs recode ../cl'.
