There seems to be at least one implementation of Perl which requires the
user to specify an extension for backup files.

These two tests assume that "sed" will not modify the final line of a
stream if it does not end with a newline character. The assumption is
not true at least for FreeBSD and Solaris 9. FreeBSD's "sed" appends
a newline character; "sed" in Solaris 9 even removes the incomplete
final line. This patch makes the test use perl instead.

The tests hang for me waiting for Emacs with its output directed
somewhere strage, because I hedged my bets and set both EDITOR and
VISUAL to run Emacs.

This rewrites the result check code a bit. The earlier one
using awk was splitting columns at any whitespace, which
confused lines attributed incorrectly to the merge made by the
default author "A U Thor <author@example.com>" with lines
attributed to author "A".
The latest test by Ryan to add the "starting from older commit"
test is also included, with another older commit test.
