"find_line_end()" takes, as arguments:

	a data pointer;

	a pointer to the end of the buffer into which said data pointer
	points;

	a pointer to a "u_char *";

and treats the data pointer as pointing to the beginning of a string
with either LF, CR/LF, or LF/CR at the end.  It scans for an LF (but
doesn't go past the "end of buffer" pointer), and:

	returns a pointer to the character past the end-of-line
	indicator;

	sets the pointer pointed to by the third argument to point to
	the end-of-line indicator (if LF, the LF; if CR/LF, the CR; if
	LF/CR, the LF).
