/usr/local/bin is another reasonable place.

Windows, is that some of them are not truly case preserving.

It's a good idea to have a small partition formatted as VFAT
for ease of transfer, anyway.

I'm not sure whether dos2unix be available on all systems, but I can
provide source and executable for one, if any need it.
