OK, this is certainly feasible. Basically you need to
alter the connection structure to contain number of bytes
written and number of bytes read, and then alter
connection_sendline, connection_post_select and
write_file. It would probably be preferable to rewrite
write_file to use connection_sendline. No patch currently
exists, but it would be rather simple to implement.
