 Some developers edit files using windows editors  and when they then copy
 them to the  Windows Drive Letter  which is mapped to a Unix machine, the
 resultant file  is full of  ^M  characters. build breaks. and so on
 
 Until now we have been telling users to run dos2unix  beforehand,  but
 somebody told me  that Samba  can handle this if properly configured ?
 
 Is this possible ?If so can somebody please help me  ?

This cannot be done. Samba would need to decide for every file whether it
is DOS text, that needs to be recoded, or a binary file, which must not be
touched.

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.
