What shortcomings does hd2u have that dos2unix doesn't? IMHO such a simple tool doesn't need active development. The only shortcomings on the current package known to me is that the PKGBUILD uses 'make prefix="$pkgdir/usr"' where it should use 'make BUILD_ROOT="$pkgdir"' and two harmless compiler warnings.

I don't know whether there are any short-comings as such, but simply running hd2u's 'dos2unix *' will convert any unix line endings to dos line endings. I detected this when dos2unix was called by a third party script (xman_dos2unix.sh). Also the sourceforge.net implementation supports different iso codepages and encodings.
