win32text is deprecated. Instead, there is a significantly better eol 
extension.

I doubt there is a simpler way. The EOL extension do not have convert in 
mind ... and the other way around. They might happen to work together in 
the expected way ... but I wouldn't expect it.

I would go the Customization route ... and perhaps keep using the eol 
extension to maintain the encoding.
