Subject:	new write.c

Here is a rewritten write() function, that in theory should optimize
buffer use and transfer size when writing in text mode, and won't need
to call malloc() at all.  Comments?

Unfortunately, this breaks the file system extensions, so I was
thinking of moving those to the posix layer (i.e. \n is never
converted to \r\n), which might be better anyway - stuff talking to
devices or tcp/ip probably doesn't want the conversion by default.
