I have no objections to include that functions in th next release
of the library but I hope that there will be no copyright issues.
My english skills are to limited to understand all implications.
I assume that the best is that DJ Delorie looks at this.
I will assume that there are no copyright issues and proceed
until someone complains.
BTW, it would be nice if could contribute a strlcpy.txh file
so I do not need to write it by myself.
