This sounds good, it would save me having to put a dos2unix command or
use special diff options.

Previously I tried to use a DJ diff.exe, but that did not work with the
rest of the testing process (if I remember correctly).  Using
dos2unix.exe did work, but then unlink was deleting my MSVC win32 make.exe
instead of a temp file.
