This behavior is controlled by the 'fileformat' and 'fileformats'
options. Vim already sets 'fileformat' according to the line
endings it finds when opening existing files. To have Vim set
'fileformat' as you want for new files, set 'fileformat' in your
~/.vimrc, for example:

au BufNewFile /path/to/specialized/directory/* set fileformat=dos

I don't know what you mean by "the usual problems with ^M". Unless
you are editing files with inconsistent line endings, Vim should
automatically set 'fileformat' correctly so that you don't even have
to think about which line endings you are using.
