No surprise there! It can't even deal with various line endings. How
pathetically lame!
It's a surprise to me. Diff(1) works fine with utf-8 or any other
encoding. It simply notes that the lines are different and prints the
lines out. Admittedly, diffing utf-16 doesn't look very pretty but
that's because my terminal is expecting utf-8 and diff is just
dumping bytes.
If you want to convert line endings, just use mac2unix(1) which you
can get from darwinports.
