Re: texinfo-6.8.90 pretest on mingw

[Bruno Haible]

On mingw (the 'w64' flavour, that can be installed with Cygwin 2.9.0)
- the compilation succeeds,
- there is 1 test failure for 'info',
- nearly all of the 'ii-????-test' tests fail,
- no test failures in tp/tests/.

The failing 'info' test is:

  FAIL: t/where-dir-file.sh

Find attached the log file.

The output of the command
  $ginfo --where file1
is
  ./../../info/t/infodir/file1.info<CR><LF>
with a line ending of <CR><LF>, which is why
  grep 't/infodir/file1.info$'
fails.

A possible fix is to replace
  grep 't/infodir/file1.info$'
with
  tr -d '\r' | grep 't/infodir/file1.info$'
Then the test passes.
