Well, `do_file' is the function called in the top-level loop, called
once per file, thus the overhead is very small – and the slight
degradation of efficiency in `table.cpp' is OK with me.

I suggest to use a `string' object for the filename string so that we
have automatic deallocation; dos2unix_file can then use a `string &'
parameter to get a slight C++ touch :-)
