Except that bss_file has gets() method which is often what you want and
bss_fd.c
doesn't.
And an implementation which provides bss_fd/bss_sock.c as OpenSSL currently
does is in absolutely no position to complain about my suggestion of an #ifdef
for an alternate implementation. :) Can anyone justify why the current
tangle of #ifdef's that tries to glue together two different BIO's is not just
a complete bug?
