I created an m_getfld branch and made those changes.

Then for fun, I replaced all that stdio buffer nastiness in
m_getfld.c with a single call to fread() and then some
almost straightforward buffer manipulations.  It passes the
test suite and seems to perform the same (even 1-2% percent
faster), so I committed to the branch.

There are plenty of ways to improve what's there, but I
think this is a step forward and doesn't give up anything.
Needlesstosay, it needs to be reviewed.
