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.)
