Description:
!include directive is ignored in my.cnf if it is last line in file

How to repeat:
Following steps confirm when !include is ignored:

1. Create file extra.cnf with content:

[mysqld]
invalid-option

2. Append following line into my.cnf  (without newline character at the end):

!include /path/to/extra.cnf

3. Start mysqld server - observe no errors

4. Append newline character at the end of my.cnf

5. Re-start mysqld server - observe error : 

unknown option '--invalid-option'

Suggested fix:
!include directive should be processed even if it is not followed by newline character

It seems that the problem happens only on Windows, so changing platform accordingly. Sorry for confusion, if any.
