Comment (by crutcher):
I've been talking to a colleague about this, and it seems that we can host
essentially all of the other approaches on the 'fixed buffer' approach, by
periodically sparking a process to change the buffer size.
I need to spend some more time mucking about; I'm using this as a ghc
hacking starter project. I'd appreciate any suggestions :)
