I don't like this because it adds a *lot* of code to read() and
write().  Is there a better way?  How about just using dos's "get a
line" function, which is what most history and command-line editing
TSRs hook.  I'd rather support the user's chosen history/edit TSR than
try to make a unix-type one work.  After all, it *isn't* unix.  We
want the program to think it's unix, not the user, whenever possible.

It's OK for termios to call setmode() to emulate text/binary, if
that's useful for termios emulation, as long as read() and write()
aren't affected.
