sfk lf-to-crlf [options] dir .ext1 .ext2 [-to outmask]

convert just-lf (unix) text format to cr+lf (dos/windows).

then these are converted immediately.

if a directory parameter is given then the command runs
in simulation mode, requiring option -yes to convert.

options
   -forceend    if a file is changed and rewritten then
                also add a line ending at the last line
                even if there was none in the input file.
   -writeall    rewrite all files no matter if changed
