What happened to open_memstream.c?

What happened to open_memstream.c?

[Margaret Lewicka]

A while ago (back in 2010), Eric Blake wrote an open_memstream
replacement module for BSD variants:

http://osdir.com/ml/bug-gnulib-gnu/2010-04/msg00360.html

What happened to it? I'm using this patch right now to make libguestfs
run on Mac OS X 10.10, but it's a shame it hasn't been made part of
gnulib. Any chance the idea could be resurrected?

I never completed the work at the time, because libvirt found another
solution for where it would have used open_memstream.  I suppose I could
revive the patches, if they are still useful.  Could you post the
version of the patches that you are using, to give me a leg up on
cleaning up my old work?

I'm using open_memstream.c as it was posted, with the exception of
removing the HAVE_FUNOPEN conditional from open_memstream.c (darwin
does have funopen(), just the define isn't set). I've also thrown the
_GL_FUNCDECL_SYS (open_memstream, FILE *, (char **, size_t *));
into stdio.in.h, without the surrounding checks.

I can mail the patch, of course, but it's really just
https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnulib@gnu.org/msg18077.html minus
all the files except open_memstream.c.
