Here's a patch to texinfo 4.4 to fix a compatibility bug. POSIX
1003.1-2001 says that standard programs like "diff" must reject
numeric options like -0. If you set _POSIX2_VERSION=200112 in the
environment, recent diffutils versions enforce this restriction, which
causes "diff -u0" to fail since it combines "-u" and "-0". "diff -U0"
is allowed, since it is equivalent to "diff -U 0".
Here is a patch, which should work with both old and new versions of
GNU diff.

* util/txitextest: Use "diff -U0" rather than "diff -u0", for
compatibility with diffutils when run in pedantic mode with
_POSIX2_VERSION=200112 in the environment.
