Description:
When building HDF5 with thread safety on Windows, the err_compat test was failing because our output was being parsed incorrectly. Rather than having a thread number in the error stack trace, there will be the string "some thread: no way to know the thread (IDs): from pthread on windows:". This checkin now takes this into account, and modifies the output accordingly.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP with Pthreads
Description:
In previous versions of Windows, the builtin 'FC' command (diff equivalent) didn't return proper exit status. As a work-around, we parsed the message returned to check status. This relies on English return messages.
In current Windows XP and Windows Vista, FC will return exit status as expected, so we can remove this workaround. Older platforms where we would need this workaround are no longer supported.
Tested:
VS2005 on Windows XP
Small test on Windows Vista
