  Log:
  Avoid writting '\r' to files on MinGW.
  
  
  
  Applied patch #1733826 from Cesar Strauss. Thanks.
  
  When using the "w" mode in fopen, MinGW translates LF into CR-LF. 
  
  This creates havoc when reading the same file again, when sharing 
  
  schematics files with other systems, and when placing them in a VCS.
  
  
  
  This can be avoided by using the "wb" mode. The "b" is ignored on 
  
  all POSIX conforming systems, according to these sources:
  
  
  
  http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man3/fopen.3.html
  
  http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/fopen.html
  
  
  
  There are other ways, however. Adding
  
  
  
  #include <fcntl.h>
  
  int _fmode = _O_BINARY;
  
  
  
  on some source file should work as well. Another way is linking 
  
  against the MinGW supplied binmode.o, which does exactly that.
