Summary: no buffering (-N) does not work on stdout

Initial Comment:
I believe this is a problem with all versions of curl
to date.

If you use the -N (no buffering) option to curl and the
output is stdout, then curl will fail to turn on no
buffering mode in my_fwrite() because the file is
already open.

I suggest getting rid of the setvbuf() stuff
altoghether. Use this
code instead at the bottom of my_fwrite()...

  rc = fwrite(buffer, size, nmemb, out->stream);
  if(config->nobuffer)
    fflush(out->stream);
  return rc;

setvbuf() is a known portability problem (SCO Xenix,
for example), so this change fixes the buffering
problem as well as removing a configure system
dependency. I don't know any systems where fflush() is
broken.
