   * Fix openNewBinaryFile on Windows with ghc-6.6
   fdToHandle calls fdGetMode which does not work with ghc-6.6 on
   windows, the workaround is not to call fdToHandle, but call
   openFd directly. Bug reported by Alistair Bayley, ticket #473.
 }}}

 This still needs to be pushed to the 1.6 branch.
