Incidentally, this implies having a getnline.c file which is always 
compiled, and possibly which getline.c is dependent on.  Is this 
reasonable?  The long run alternative is to get getndelim() & getnline() 
into libc.  I haven't really dealt with libc before.  Is _this_ 
reasonable?  Is this likely?
