Right, I had that in mind, too.  The problem is, it's not trivial.
The way it works on startup now is a bit kludgey: dos-w32.el says

  (setq-default buffer-file-coding-system 'undecided-dos)

and then set-language-environment-coding-systems does

 (let* ((priority (get-language-info language-name 'coding-priority))
        (default-coding (car priority))
        (eol-type (coding-system-eol-type default-buffer-file-coding-system)))
  ...
    (if (memq eol-type '(0 1 2 unix dos mac))
      (coding-system-change-eol-conversion default-coding eol-type)))

the kludge being that this only works because of the specific order
files are loaded at dump time and the order of function invocation
during startup.  Are we okay with making non-trivial changes in that
at this time?
