diff and dos line endings

[Toshio]

While working with quilt on a project which used dos line endings, I
found a bug with the way diff --show-c-function works.

If you do a diff -u --show-c-function test.c.bak test.c with the
included files, you'll see that diff -u generates the following line in
its output::
  @@ -4,5 +4,5 @@ int tester()^M

This line causes problems for patch (GNU version 2.5.4) which doesn't
understand the \r\n at the end of that line.

The included diffutils-2.8.1-funclf.patch includes a small change to the
characters that can stop the detection of functions for the --show-c-
function that make diff produce output with only a \n at the end of the
line.
