Well, now that I have tried it, yes, setting $/ to '\r\n' does give me what
I expected. Both expected and result files should have the same kind of line
endings though.

I expected chomp() to "Do The Right Thing" and eat away '\r\n' too, not just
'\n'; my mistake.

Anyway, changing $/ in the script does not seem to be much good for our test
framework. Making sure that the expected and result files have a Unix style
line endings would better stand the test of time.

Another limitation of this script I forgot to mention is that it barfs if
the last line of the expected file is '?/unordered'. Adding it to TODO list.
