I did some thinking and the best I could come up with in a short amount of time is this: 
char* destroycrlf(char* original)
{
    char *ret, *token, sep[] = "\r";

    ret = (char *)calloc(strlen(original) * 7 + 8,sizeof(char));
    token = strtok( original, sep );
    sprintf(ret ,"<p>" );
    while (token)    {
        if (token[0] == '\n')
            sprintf(ret, "%s<\\p><p>%s", ret, &token[1]);
        else
            sprintf(ret, "%s%s", ret, token);
        token = strtok( NULL, sep );
    }
    sprintf(ret, "%s<\\p>", ret);
    return ret;
}

Maybe not the shortest, but it should work and is fairly quick.
