From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> When redirecting stdout/stderr to the same file, we cannot guarantee that stdout will come first. In fact, in this test case, it seems that an MSVC build always prints stderr first. In any case, this test case does not want to verify the *order* but the *presence* of both outputs, so let's test exactly that.
