    record-oriented fashion.  That means that every write() will write a
    separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
    to read from it.  This can be very confusing.
    
    The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
    until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
    time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
    lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
    lines in one record.  Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.
    
    Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
    now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this.  After
    the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
    well.
