You also have the option of using GVIM/VIM instead of Windows editors. VIM can determine this information.

Do you use a source code management tool like CVS for your files? We use CVS and have configured it to check for DOS files (and other things) upon commit. In our case we've set it up to disallow the commit and force the developer to fix the problem(s). If you are using an SCM tool, perhaps you could get it to do something similar or even automatically do the conversion for you. -- DE Privileged and Confidential.
