  strlcpy and strlcat are quick and dirty band aids against buffer
overflows. They suck because if a string is truncated, other bad things can
happen. These functions don't replace proper error handling. But once again,
we just started the project, and this is a first step. Real fixes (without
strl*) will come later.

  Every operating system has strenghts and weakness. <insert your favorite
OS here> is the best one because you know it very well, you feel confortable
with it, and it fits your needs. OS wars are plenty stupid, especially in
the opensource world.
