Subject: reading binary from STDIN in windows

Windows again -( 
How can I read a binary file from STDIN? 

For example, in linux I can copy some.pdf to test.pdf:

ruby -e 'i=STDIN.read; open("test.pdf","w").write(i)' <some.pdf

in windows I can (and must) use "wb" instead of "w", but how do I specify 
STDIN to be binary?

(I need this for a filter working on pdf-files)
