The --binary option makes it so that a patch that has lines that are not
terminated by CRNL can be applied.
Without the --binary option, GNU patch on Windows reports various
different assertion failures. I also stumbled across saving the patch
files with CRNL at the end of each line and that works too, but I don't
think we want to save two versions of the patches or edit them on the fly.

Why is it necessary to specify --binary as an argument to patch in the
Windows build? This seems like it would prevent patch from applying
more clever algorithms for matching up lines that are slightly off.
