dugong, for one, doesn't like this patch.
My usual habit for fixing alternative expected files is to apply the same
diff to those files as I got for the one my machine produces. While this
occasionally doesn't work (when there are changes in the unportable
results as well as the portable ones), it works 90% of the time, whereas
your approach here works zero percent of the time.
