I think there are at just two classes of failure, calling applications:

test_Application ... FAIL

And indexing with Windows newlines (I wonder if the git setup
on my Windows XP machine has a different default to yours,
meaning I have Unix newlines and you have Windows newlines?):

test_SearchIO_blast_tab_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_blast_xml_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_exonerate_text_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_exonerate_vulgar_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_fasta_m10_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_hmmer2_text_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_hmmer3_domtab_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_hmmer3_tab_index ... FAIL
test_SearchIO_hmmer3_text_index ... FAIL
Bio.SeqIO docstring test ... FAIL

Plus of course the minor issues which I just introduced with
the escaping change (commits to follow).
