so long as the xsub uses a FILE *, the typemap will take care of the
magic.  for example, Apache::send_fd() is an xsub that uses the FILE *
typemap:

use Apache::File ();

my $r = shift;

$r->send_http_header;

my $tmp = Apache::File->tmpfile;

print $tmp "hi";

seek $tmp, 0, 0;

$r->send_fd($tmp);
