I inquired on the Gvim list and here is part of the reply I
received:
---------------------------------
The characters used for end-of-line markers are all ASCII characters
and are in the range of characters whose codes are common to all
character sets (as I understand it) including latin1, ISO-8859-x,
and UTF-8.

Changing to UTF-8 is not going to change the way Vim saves
end-of-line markers.

I'll experiment with UTF-8 in Gvim and see what really happens.
