/* Faster routines (~twice as fast). +170 bytes. Unused as of 2008-07.
 *
 * NB: they stop at NUL byte too.
 * Performance is important here. Think "grep 50gigabyte_file"...
 * Ironically, grep can't use it because of NUL issue.
 * We sorely need C lib to provide fgets which reports size!
 *
 * Update:
 * Actually, uclibc and glibc have it. man getline. It's GNUism,
 *   but very useful one (if it's as fast as this code).
 * TODO:
 * - currently, sed and sort use bb_get_chunk_from_file and heavily
 *   depend on its "stop on \n or \0" behavior, and STILL they fail
 *   to handle all cases with embedded NULs correctly. So:
 * - audit sed and sort; convert them to getline FIRST.
 * - THEN ditch bb_get_chunk_from_file, replace it with getline.
 * - provide getline implementation for non-GNU systems.
