I don't recommend this solution.  Not only does it disable _all_
conversions, not just EOL conversions, for files whose encodings are
known in advance, but it will also break whenever coding-systems alist
is modified by some package or the user in their ~/.emacs.

Don't do that.

See my other mail in this thread for the solution recommended by the
Emacs manual.
