Wouldn't it be more logical to add this in gEdit itself, for example
when you do 'Save As...', you could change the file type to ".txt with
CR/LF endings".

Then again, with gEdit's new file dialog, there's no such thing as the
file type... Maybe  adapt the character encoding so something like this
can be added? Or a checkbox "Use CR/LF line endings".
Now I think about it, maybe this is what you meant... have a plugin to
add this option to the file dialog? I understood it as a plugin to save
*all* files with CR/LF endings, which doesn't seem very useful to me, as
CR/LF are probably exceptions instead of the rule to most people.

P.S.: If someone would code something like that, support for CR (i.e.
old-Mac style) could be useful, too.
