I find the code more readable as it is. 'buf' and 'buf_size' belong
together. In some cases we write

  char buf[4096];
  const size_t buf_size = sizeof (buf);

In others we write

  const size_t buf_size = MIN (MAX (file_size, 4096), 1048576);
  char *buf = (char *) xmalloc (buf_size);

It's nice if the inner code doesn't depend on how the buffer is
allocated.

"mess"?
