I think for the case of Microsoft C++ used for the Win32 port, everyone
would be happy if Perl's sysopen, sysread, etc. did not require binmode.
Unfortunately, Microsoft made the decision very early on in its C/C++
development to make open, read, etc. do CRLF/NL conversions.  To do this I
think that you need to substitute the Win32 API calls like OpenFile for the
calls to open, read, etc.  Unfortunately, I'm too backed up right now to
even come close to making this change.
