I thought about that when I wrote it, and thus tried it under mingw and
cygwin without issue ;) I don't think the regression tests were in a
position of running on the msvc build at the time... My thought for what
to do if this did run into a problem would be an alternate output file
that is also acceptable (I don't know what they're called but other tests
have them IIRC).
