Looks nice, I look forward to using some of these. getdelim() in
particular, it is more efficient than a getc() loop and fgetln()'s
lack of zero termination and nonportability are annoying.

I wonder how long it will be necessary to be paranoid about the getline
name. I don't like things like glibc's _GNU_SOURCE which is getting less
and less optional and so loses its meaning. Of course, I can use
getdelim() to avoid the problem on FreeBSD.
