i'm taking that as approval by people who will variously do the work of:

1. getting all non-rfc822-reading callers of m_getfld() to call
something else;

That shouldn't be a blocker, see next point.

2. removing any m_getfld code that was just for those callers, even if
it means removing arguments from all other calls to m_getfld;

I don't believe that there is any such code.

3. teaching m_getfld to never try to go behind the veil of stdio's api;
4. teaching m_getfld to stop optimizing for the vax pcc.

Would it make sense to toss it all and use mmap()?
Conceptually, it doesn't seem like a difficult problem to
parse header fields and maybe a body and just hand back a
pair of pointers and the state indication.
