There are -- I use gvim :-).

:set fileformat=unix

I don't know if one came with it, but it shouldn't be hard to make
such a thing.  (Just be sure to open the file in _binary_ not text
mode) It would be simplest to use a RandomAccessFile type of interface
(there is a Java class by that name) and simply change the first \r\n
to \n\n.

In (g)vim you could type the following commands :

:1 
:set binary
:s/^V^M//


where ^V means Ctrl-V and ^M means Ctrl-M (or enter, in this case)
