For the record, there are some bugs in the implementation I posted that 
result in segmentation faults when catting inexistent or inaccessible 
files and if allocation fails. I believe I have these fixed on my local 
copy, together with some additional small changes and tweaks.

If there is interest in pursuing this direction I'll post the updated 
version.

In the meantime comments are always welcome!
