popen on unices doesn't like "rb"/"wb"

[Kuba Ober-2]

Hi,

between dvdauthor 0.6.11 and 0.6.13, the popen in
src/compat.c got the 'b' read flag, most likely to
make it work in windows. This makes pipes fail
miserably on unices (does for me on FC6), with
an "Invalid Argument" given by popen.

It's been long since I mucked in what's
configure-dependent folk's recipe-du-jour to
dealing with that. So I leave the proper solution
to the wise. Myself, I simply made an updated rpm
with "rb" replaced with "r", as I don't run it on
anything but unices.

Cheers, Kuba

Thanks for that! This caught me when using k9copy, which uses dvdauthor in
pipes.
