Do you want a ProDOS application (.SYSTEM program) or an external
command for BASIC.SYSTEM? I think I could write a simple one over the
weekend.

If the former, should it have wildcard support for bulk conversions
(this would add some work so would probably have to wait for version
two). Should it attempt to auto-identify the type of the source file?
What if anything should be done with "naked" CR (missing the following
LF) characters in a DOS file?
