I don't really know how the tests work, but couldn't you run the results
thru dos2unix, or s\015?\012/\n/ before testing?
This shouldn't effect Linux behavior, but may allow Windows to work.
Cygwin allows the selection of either Dos or Linux style line ending, so
it may be tricky to detect which way to go. Perhaps better is to always
assume Dos, and convert to Linux. I don't think this breaks Linux line
ending.
It may be a problem if you have any embedded Dos message in your test
case, then that would be converted. That seems a remote chance, and
could be hacked when detected.
