From 8d97c1dcfa44b8925c693cf605ec3ee0cf44e75f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Subject: [PATCH] Use diff's -w switch only on Windows, to avoid problems with
 inconsistent newline representations.  Per buildfarm results and subsequent
 discussion. Sync up a couple of other places that had their own policies.
