A couple of comments:

* In some places you have "if ((c = *(*lineptr)++) != '\0')" and in other
places just "if ((c = *(*lineptr)++))". This should be consistent (and
personally I prefer the first way).

* I'm not sure that this conversion is right:

! if (c != EOF)
! ungetc(c, fp);
---
! if (c != '\0')
! (*lineptr)--;

In the file case, it's impossible to push back EOF, and unnecessary
since another getc will produce EOF again anyway. In the string case,
though, I think you might need to decrement the lineptr unconditionally,
else next call will run off the end of the string no?

* This bit seems a bit ugly, and not Windows-aware either:

! /* We don't store the trailing newline */
! if (rawline[strlen(rawline)-1] == '\n')
! rawline[strlen(rawline)-1] = '\0';
!

It might be better to strip trailing \n and \r from the line immediately
upon read, rather than here.
