This started opening files in text mode by default in the 2.3 release,
which is a disaster on Windows. Restored the binary default of all previous releases. Also minor code cleanups. Bugfix candidate!

-----------
+- md5sum.py mistakenly opened input files in text mode by default, a
+ silent and dangerous change from previous releases. It once again
+ opens input files in binary mode by default. The -t and -b flags
+ remain for compatibility with the 2.3 release, but -b is the default
+ now.

- py-electric-colon now works when pending-delete/delete-selection mode is
in effect
