Hmm. I don't think that would be better. There isn't actually that much 
in common between CopyFromStateData and CopyToStateData, and a little 
bit of duplication seems better.

Seems better as it is IMO, the if- and else-branches are not really 
related to each other, even though they both happen to be conditioned on 
cstate->opts.binary.

Fixed all the other things you listed, fixed a bug in setting 
'file_encoding', and trimmed down the #includes.
