Subtests 6, 7, and 9 rely test that merge-recursive correctly
ignores whitespace when so directed. Change the particular whitespace
sequences to be ones that are not known line endings so the whitespace
is not changed when being extracted by line oriented grep.

merge-recursive needs to be able to deal with \r at EOL, too, so if at
all possible I would prefer to see the test fixed to pass on Cygwin
some other way.

Thanks.

No line oriented tool is going to avoid this problem. I suppose someone 
with much more perl skill I possess could write a grep replacement 
explicitly using binary file modes to fix this. Or, the test could just 
check the sha1sum of text.txt against a prestored value, Or the test 
could use \r\n ONLY on systems that do not use that as a line ending 
mode. Or ...
