Works great, thanks.

    $ printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk 1 | od -tcx1
    0000000   h   e   l   l   o       w   o   r   l   d  \r  \n
             68  65  6c  6c  6f  20  77  6f  72  6c  64  0d  0a


Ironically, Awk is now a portable way to convert line endings, as d2u is not
portable:

    printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk '{sub("\r", "")} 1'
    printf 'hello world\n' | awk '{sub(/$/, "\r")} 1'
