* configure.in:
* testglib.c:
* gstrfuncs.c:
* glib.h: added g_strlcat() and g_strlcpy() wrappers, supplied by
David Wheeler <dwheeler@ida.org>:
* glib.h, gstrfuncs.c: added g_strlcpy and g_strlcat to support
safe manipulation of fixed-length string buffers.
These functions were originally developed by Todd Miller to simplify
development of security-related programs, and
are available on many (but not all) Unix-like systems,
including OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Solaris. See
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/src/lib/libc/string/strlcpy.3
and http://www.openbsd.org/security.html.
If there's a strlcpy/strlcat on the system, it's called, otherwise
an implementation is provided.
* testglib.c: Added tests for g_strlcpy, g_strlcat.
