Another question regarding mounts:

Is there a way to mount everything in binary mode, either on the command
line or in a C program? Something like _fmode = O_BINARY in other C
environments, but also for pipes and spawned processes?

I have many drive letters and the default mount mode of //c/ to //z/ is
text mode. Can I change them all to binary mode or do I really have to
mount each and every drive with `mount -b //c/ /c./´ to `mount -b //z/
/z./´?

Background:
I ported glimpse/glimpseindex to Cygwin and it works fine, iff I mount
everything in binary mode. I could change dozens of fopen()/open() to
use binary mode, but this would still not do the trick for pipes and
children (glimpse spawns "sort foo>bar" among others).
