I think part of the original motivation might have been that under
some circumstances this set of programs needs to be used on
drive partitions as opposed to files within those partitions.

At that time there may have been no way within Cygwin to size
a partition (statfs()?).

As far as I can tell the O_BINARY changes are good to have.
