Good I'll see what I can do.  I'll download your code and and see what I can 
do with it.  It would be a good test to determine exactly how passing a 
stream pointer would work.  Granted I'm no expert in this at all and I may 
end up at first trying to just pass a FILE*.  Then if fdopen(socket_fd,...) 
will work things might be good to go.  Either way it might be good to be able 
to pass a file descriptor, FILE* and stream for the most flexibility for the 
programmer.
