I think the patch command already does some conversion there, at least on Linux.
I never had line ending related problems when applying patches with
"patch", but I did have problems when adding whole new files.

Guessing the -p<n> option is good, but even better would be to search
the to-be-patched file in case the diff was not made from the project
top dir.
At least Lazarus project has so many files that nobody remembers where
they all are.
Sometimes I must search for a file using a file browser, then cd to
the dir then then apply the patch.
