I think the above would be sufficient. My GNU SASL tool uses the same
read/write for both sockets and stdin/stdout, so I would have to
rewrite it slightly. But I don't need this functionality right now,
so I don't want to spend a lot of time on it. But it was good to
raise this discussion, so I know what to implement if I get more time
to work on it or if someone sponsor me to do it.
Thanks,
