Stefan,

You wrote that ogr2ogr ignores LINEFORMAT=LF and always products files
with line feeds.  Perhaps you mean that it always produces CRLF?

Looking in the code I see LINEFORMAT is a layer creation option, not a
datasource creation option.  So it should be specified with -lco instead
of -dsco.  Perhaps that is the root of your problem?  I have made an effort
to clarify this in the documentation.

Best regards,
