I attach the patch as a binary attachment, to avoid mangling of the end-of-line format of the batch file. In any case, when you commit the changes, please verify that the manual-not-found.cmd file has Windows-style CRLF end-of-line format. (The Windows shell on recent Windows systems is fine with batch files with Unix-style EOLs, but better be safe than sorry.)
