run-tests.py will now automatically encode control characters, so the 
cateol.py hack shouldn't be needed. If I had noticed it I would have 
removed it and replaced it with a simple cat.

What is the problem on windows and how do cateol.py fix it?

I think it would be great if the test suite could be run on windows, but 
it is not so great if we have to add hacks everywhere in the tests. I 
can imagine that we will need a general strategy for testing line 
endings on windows.
