/**************************************************************************
Routine to get next line using platform fgets().

Under MSVC 6:

+ MS threadsafe getc is very slow (multiple layers of function calls before+
  after each character, to lock+unlock the stream).
+ The stream-locking functions are MS-internal -- can't access them from user
  code.
+ There's nothing Tim could find in the MS C or platform SDK libraries that
  can worm around this.
+ MS fgets locks/unlocks only once per line; it's the only hook we have.

So we use fgets for speed(!), despite that it's painful.

MS realloc is also slow.

Reports from other platforms on this method vs getc_unlocked (which MS doesn't
have):
	Linux		a wash
	Solaris		a wash
	Tru64 Unix	getline_via_fgets significantly faster

CAUTION:  The C std isn't clear about this:  in those cases where fgets
writes something into the buffer, can it write into any position beyond the
required trailing null byte?  MSVC 6 fgets does not, and no platform is (yet)
known on which it does; and it would be a strange way to code fgets. Still,
getline_via_fgets may not work correctly if it does.  The std test
test_bufio.py should fail if platform fgets() routinely writes beyond the
trailing null byte.  #define DONT_USE_FGETS_IN_GETLINE to disable this code.
**************************************************************************/

/* Use this routine if told to, or by default on non-get_unlocked()
 * platforms unless told not to.  Yikes!  Let's spell that out:
 * On a platform with getc_unlocked():
 *     By default, use getc_unlocked().
 *     If you want to use fgets() instead, #define USE_FGETS_IN_GETLINE.
 * On a platform without getc_unlocked():
