See my other message: text mounts are best considered obsolescent if
not deprecated, and that mode is definitely not actively developed.
There are just too many loopholes with forks and pipes to reliably "do
the right thing."

Your suggested tests for non-binary mode mounts (properly #ifdef'd for
Cygwin, possibly only enabled if specifically configured in) are a
reasonable idea.
