Should work on all platforms.

It's an initial stab at things; there's some cleaning up that could be
done in the 'file' implementation where I stashed the code.

Logically, the streams stuff shouldn't depend on files, and sockets
shouldn't either, but on the other hand, breaking everything out into
separate classes causes bloat.

Have a look at it, let me know what you think.
