This is a REALLY REALLY bad idea; I think the documentation to mount
says as much.  Every time you write to a binary file on your Windows
filesystem from Linux, you will be in danger of corrupting it if the
filesystem module guesses wrong about whether or not it's binary.

I'll hazard a guess that Win32 Python will be perfectly happy with
\r-less files.  \r is CR.
