Re: elisp to change line endings for new remote file

Thanks all. I already knew about add-untranslated-filesystem. tramp/
plink is smart enough to not translate its files, so that's not the
solution for creating new files with unix line endings.

That seems close to the right thing, but I'd want to call after
opening a new "tramp" file, not before saving- if it has MS-DOS line
endings already, I want to change it manually.

That's also a good answer, as I don't want to change existing endings-
just want to make my new files correct for the platform. Though I'd
have a problem when I opened up a new file on the Windows side.
