diff --exclude-from=file

[Scott . Vigil]

To whom it may concern:

The --exclude-from option only works if the file is in UNIX format.  This
function should be modified so that it works with <cr><lf> terminators also.

I observed this falure in the current version of CygWin.

To see the problem, unzip the attached file and try the following:

        $ cd DiffTest

        $ ls
        BinFilesDOS.txt  BinFilesUNIX.txt  x  y

        $ diff -X BinFilesDOS.txt x y
        Binary files x/ntio.sys and y/ntio.sys differ
        Binary files x/wupdinfo.dll and y/wupdinfo.dll differ
        Binary files x/xolehlp.dll and y/xolehlp.dll differ

        $ diff -X BinFilesUNIX.txt x y

        $
