I think it is good to merge this into the tree. Tracking our tree
yourself is very difficult.
Applied. The only problem is that this part of the patch did not apply
because the function has changed. In fact, there is no call fdopen()
left in the entire code tree.
Developers, be warned that all open()'s need a win32 test for 'binary'
opening, and Makefiles not need a $(X) optional extension added.
