It borrows from that idea, but has to work without them.  It takes advantage of fopen 
cookies is available by allowing you to "cast" the stream into a FILE* regardless of 
whether it's an fd, socketd, FILE*, SSL socket, memory based stream or whatever.

I'm on the verge of checking-in my work-so-far (it can be enabled by 
--enable-php-streams) so that others can try it and comment.  In particular, I would 
like someone who knows buffers to review the buffering - I've borrowed code from 
fsock.c but it looks like a memory hog to me, and doesn't allow buffered writes.
