That said, we only really need it on systems that do weird things with line endings, like Mac and Win32. I don't think --binary does anything for Linux or BSD.

So we could only supply the flag if "sys.platform in ('win32', 'cygwin')" and possibly 'darwin'. Though I'm pretty sure on darwin line-endings are not munged either.
