First stage of getting GS3 diffcol to work. 1. For now skipping absence of build.cfg and collect.cfg to fix any remaining issues. 2. The gs3-model-collect regenerated on Linux a few days back didn't contain the COLLNAME-inf-tmp.(gdb|jdb|lg) files whereas the test colls on this Windows machine do. So adding it to list of files to ignore because they only get generated on some OS. 3. buildConfig.xml contains metadata elements with lowercase m for metadata, and for buildConfig.xml need to ignore 2 more time-sensitive fields when diffing: buildDate and earliestDatestamp, which are now added to list of fieldnames to ignore, just as buildConfig.xml is added to list of files to process in ways somewhat similar to doc.xml (i.e. comparing some metadata fields, and ignoring time-sensitive ones or other arbitrary ones). 4. A fresh SVN checkout of GS3 shows it doesn't come with openoffice and doesn't use it for building GS3 model collections. And there's no libreoffice on this Windows diffcol test machine (where the test-colls are built and diffed against model-colls prepared on linux), so the open-office extension can not be used on here anyway. 4. With these settings, but see the potentially big hack in step 1, all but Word-PDF-Enhanced collection pass diffcol testing. The Word-PDF-Enhanced collection is the windows_scripting collection and so the model-collection should have been regenerated on Windows, as it originally was for this collection (see commit r30029).
