And the original is at:

http://www.invisibleduck.org/~sean/code/stdio.d
http://www.invisibleduck.org/~sean/code/utf.d

The utf changes are needed to support the one char unget limit.  It's 
also a bit more efficient.  Internally, everything is converted to dchar 
for comparison.  This is arguably not a good idea for performance 
reasons, but it simplified the implementation.
