Please note that Unix shell scripting is a foreign thing on Windows. As such, there is not really any "native" shell we can use [*1*], and therefore we use MSYS2's Bash which outputs Unix line endings. Ciao, Dscho Footnote *1*: I keep trying (and failing) to find the time to work on the pure-Win32 port of BusyBox, which would give us "sort of a native Unix shell". That probably *would* output CR/LF in this case. But as there are still parts of the test suite that require Perl (which is not included in BusyBox), I think we are still a loooong way from running the test suite in a pure Win32 fashion. With all the time tax that incurs for us Windows users.
