Summary: "python -u" not binary on cygwin

Initial Comment:
python -u is supposed to put sys.stdin and sys.stdout
in binary mode on systems where such things matter.
This does not happen on Window under Cygwin.

Try
python -u -c 'import sys;
open("x","wb").write(sys.stdin.read())' < some-text-file

and notice that the newly created file "x" has just \n
line endings instead of \r\n.

A patch is included.
