I think this has nothing to do with the \r in LaTeX.C. There an ordinary
ifstream is used without giving the std::ios_base::binary flag, so this
should read in text mode.

What the * is this os::read::mode  good for anyway?

It is never used, and even if it were we could 
use "rb" for *nix, too.

And why is this wrapped in a class, not in a namespace?
