Thanks for mentioning that. I meant to put a note on that at the end of
_my_ message, but forgot. :)

It does mean we won't do CRLF processing. We could get around that with
some explicit `chomp`-ing, I think. Or just leave it as-is and assume
these will lose the !MINGW prereq.

I see Junio just mentioned elsewhere that we can simply avoid the
extended regular expressions by using two sed commands. That would be
fine with me, too.
