"b" - binary mode
"/" - Convert slashes (although I can't see it referenced anymore)
"rX" - root drive, in most cases "rU" being U:
"s" - scriptability. So #! is interpreted to run scripts.

I think Frank (from the CVS logs) already did turn binary mode on by
default, so I'll check that, but now I'm going to turn on scriptability
by default.
