I had a look and we're already using diff -w, via DIFF_OPTS which
gets set at the top of runtest.sh.

After simply removing the dos2unix calls, the tests still pass; we're
also using diff to compare dwindtst.expected with dwindtst.out.

The attached patch removes dos2unix and also removes the
differentiation in the r4rstest output, which no longer seems to
be relevant.  I suspect this got changed by the removal of gcvt().

Cheers,
Peter
