@zturner According to https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#software, we 
shouldn't be relying on `dos2unix` nor `unix2dos` to be present on a build 
machine. 

Note that the `$'string'` syntax (ANSI-C quotes) is a `bash` extension. 
According to the page mentioned above, the LLVM builds should only be relying 
on having a Bourne shell (`sh`). But, are there still any *nix system out there 
where `/bin/sh` isn't a link for `\bin\bash` ? I.e. Is relying on `bash+sed` 
fine here ?

A fully portable solution would be to write python scripts for `dos2unix.py` 
and `unix2dos.py`. That way, one would not be relying on build tools that LLVM 
isn't already using.

Any advice on how to proceed ?
