+	tests: append a newline to expected-output files lacking NL-at-EOF
+	* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c (testCompareXMLToArgvFiles): Adjust the
+	code that creates "actual" output, so that it too produces a
+	newline-terminated buffer.
+	* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/*.args: Append a newline to each, via:
+	for i in $(find|grep '\.args$'); do echo >> $i;done
