Cheers Ralf, I tried the find <sourcedir> -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;
by putting it as the build rule dos2unix:  and calling make
VARIANT=debug dos2unix.

Unfortunately, while I use a personel copy of a code editor that allows
unix style line ends, other people that work on my code are stuck with
MS DevStudio. There has been many occasions where I have picked the
latest copy of my software and some files are full of CR/LF line ends. I
was looking for a solution that would stop source files from ever having
this. This is the exact solution I need.

  Many thanks for your help.
