Comment(by nickm):
Wow, that's a pretty broad approach. I wonder if it's safe. Have we
audited all the callers of read_file_to_str for potential issues? What
about places where we open files with some other means; will we break
stuff there? What about write_str_to_file; will we read stuff from one
place but write it to another?
For 0.2.2, I'm much more inclined to simply take the Log part of the
patch, and postpone more tweaks here to 0.2.3, possibly trying to address
this at a higher level (config.c rather than util.c).
