Are you proposing an alternate result file that has a different linefeed
style? I would really really rather that we not go there, because it
will be impossibly fragile to maintain. Or are you willing to accept
that the Windows builds will break every time someone changes that
regression test, until someone else with a Windows machine fixes the
result file?

I would find it preferable to make pg_regress compensate for this
issue somehow ...
