Integrate perlio:

[  7539]
PerlIO infrastructure complete.

[  7538]
Type tweaks + less contorted allocation scheme

[  7537]
Fix for stdio as default "discipline" - PerlIO_init() was fdopen(2,"w")'ing
a fresh FILE * rather than re-using stderr. Which meant PerlIO_stderr() was
fully buffered rather than unbuffered (on Solaris, Linux seemed to do something
sensible) which lead to some interesting fails.

[  7535]
Implement stack of layers - (perlio.c _is_ derived from the old file honest...)
- Works on Linux with
perlio + unix
stdio
- Works on Solaris with
perlio + unix
- Fails ONE test (print to STDIN should fail) on Solaris with stdio.
- Fails (hangs in openpid) if you try and stack
perlio + stdio - Linux stdio's read() logic is hanging.

[  7492]
Change files which are mysteriously different to mainline to be
copies of mainline.

[  7491]
Perlio fixes discovered on big-endian & very traditional Solaris:
- typo in endian code in putc.
- Don't allow read of write-only files and vice-versa
- and off-by-one in flush-all loop.
Remove debug calls as they were using GCC specific features.

[  7484]
PerlIO passes all tests.

[  7482]
Include <unistd.h> to get correct lseek() prototype etc.
(I thought perl.h did that) - down to two fails
- comp/require.t (last test)
- lib/io_xs.t - possibly import/export of FILE * ?

[  7480]
Fixed two bugs:
- error code not being set on close (of broken pipe)
- append mode was truncating.
At least one seek/tell bug remains.

[  7479]
Prototype (stdio-like) PerlIO passing basic tests. Checked in
in case of accidents. Still several worrying fails, no line disciplines yet.

Nick Ing-Simmons [Sat, 4 Nov 2000 12:40:42 +0000]
Fix for stdio as default "discipline" - PerlIO_init() was fdopen(2,"w")'ing
a fresh FILE * rather than re-using stderr. Which meant PerlIO_stderr() was
fully buffered rather than unbuffered (on Solaris, Linux seemed to do something
sensible) which lead to some interesting fails.

originally from Linc Madison.  Also Andreas König's comments
taken into account.  Some other problems with Tie::SubstrHash
fixed: didn't croak when the table exceeded the requested number
of entries (as documented) but instead when the number of entries
exceeded the size of the table, a croak() had an unnecessary \n,
didn't have a CLEAR method, documented that there is no exists().
Didn't fix to be strict-proof because the module uses &foo; and
dynamic scope.  Added a test script exercizing both first tamely
the basic functionality, and then the failure cases reported by
Linc Madison.

Make the POSIX::setuid and POSIX::setgid to really call setuid()

only changing the real uid/gid, as opposed to changing both
real and effective ids.  (The alternative way could have been
in POSIX.pm to change $> and $), too, but making a direct call
