Actually, I lied. :-)  That's the conceptual picture -- there are
actually relatively many places where the code will get changed -- but
in a reasonably uniform way.

For example, we currently use the same set of macros (like _IO_XSPUTN)
on both `streambuf *'s and `_IO_FILE *'s.  That doesn't work any more
since the pointer types are not interchangeable.
