Another note concerning the name of the converter:
* "oneLine" expresses the thing you want to achieve: Put the following 
expression on one line. (How? OK, by replacing all the line breaks, but that is 
not the main issue here).
* "replaceEol" expresses the technical operation to achieve it.

In general I prefer names expressing the goal of an operation over a name 
describing how something is implemented on a technical level.

> Adding %oneLine\{...\} to PatternLayout will mask line breaks of enclosed 
> Strings as " |>> ". For instance, %oneline{%exception{full}} will convert 
> stack traces to a one-liner easier to handle with tools like grep. Based on 
> an idea of Heinz Kabutz: http://www.javaspecialists.eu/archive/Issue177.html
