Is there a way to set stdin and stdout into binary mode under gnu-win32,
cleanly?  Some code I am attempting to port simply does an
fdopen(0,"rb"); fdopen(1,"wb"); which works fine under Linux, or BSD,
but ends up with no output when compiled with gnu-win32 and then run.

Suggestions?  I've tried several hacks around this already.  The code
requires that stdout and stdin be in binary mode and also be actually
stdout and stdin - the program runs as a cgi script.

Thanks in advance.
