Thanks.  The lib-src part looks OK to me.

This part doesn't look right.  If we don't use "rt", then when
emacs_fopen calls emacs_open, the latter will interpret the lack of
"t" as a sign to use the default binary mode, which is not what we
want.

I think we can fix this in one of 2 ways: either (a) let emacs_fopen
start with O_TEXT in bmode by default, at least on DOS_NT platforms;
or (b) change emacs_open back to not apply O_BINARY by default, and
instead use "rb", "wb", and O_BINARY in all the places except those
that use "rt" or "wt" now.

I like the latter alternative better, because the former makes
emacs_fopen and emacs_open use 2 different defaults (text vs binary),
which is contrary to intuition and easy to forget.

WDYT?
