Comment (by jef):

 Replying to [comment:5 glynn]:
 > Note: setting _fmode is the only way to get stdin/stdout into binary
 mode (we don't care about stderr). At least, this used to be the case. It
 appears that later versions of MSVCRT require that you explicitly change
 the mode of these descriptors. However, MinGW always links against
 msvcrt.dll, not a later version.

 Ok, I adapted fmode.c to dllmain.c and include it in every dll. _fmode is
 set when the DLL is loaded.  That also helps - and might fix more than the
 raster problem addressed by the original patch - which I replaced.
