If it's host-specific code, perhaps. But it's better if nobody needs
to know whether or not O_BINARY is available; they only need to know
if it's *appropriate*. If the file is binary, use O_BINARY. If it is
text, don't. On platforms where O_BINARY is zero, it does nothing,
but does prevent yet another needless host test.
