Yeah yeah, spammer here, 'eh ;-)

It's not line-ending problem anymore. It's the different float formats on
win32. I looked at the wrong diff file.

I think what's left now is just that mingw needs a different output file
with a different float format in it, just like for the other regression
tests. I'll try to make that happen.
