OK, yeah, CR/LF is lame - but I'm on a Win32 system here and am lucky
enough to have installed Cygwin and Guile. The problem is I need to use
Guile to write some binary files with uniform-vector-write, etc - and any
time I write a 0x0a byte it gets a 0x0d prepended to it. There are ways to
avoid this in CygWin (forcing binary mode) - but there are also ways around
it in C, and that's where it should be addressed.
I've attached a CVS patch addressing the problem - it patches
scm_open_file to support the "b" flag with O_BINARY - pretty simple.
Thanks for your time.
