Log message:
Send the linebuffer BIO to the attic

*) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
in a 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.  BIO_f_linebuffer() is
the answer.

Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
been tested well enough.

Yeah, no, we don't care about any of this and haven't compiled this file
since forever. Looks like tedu's chainsaw got blunt at some point...
