Oh, and only NOW do I notice that this is in a file named
commands-posix.c that doesn't get compiled into the Windows build of qga
(there, we only build commands-win32.c, and THAT file always fails this
command, because no one has ported guest-file-open there yet).  But I
guess there is still the argument that some weirdnix system exists that
isn't quite POSIX compliant and does have a distinct binary mode (maybe
someone plans on compiling qga for Cygwin instead of native windows,
since at least that would be able to open files when the
commands-win32.c variant doesn't?), so I still think the patch is worth
keeping.
