Hey, Alexander! :)

I thought about this but there may be code in mc which doesn't need
this flag. I though that evaluating every single mc_open call and its
purpose is the best way to decide which calls should have the O_BINARY
flag set. After all there are not so much mc_open calls. I started
looking at them but have not finished yet.
