Maybe we should start adding conformance tests to the testsuite to
enforce this?  I agree with Bob here, that consistent use of strl*
is a good rule.

Pending use of strl*, yes, please go right ahead.  Also, please add
a note to TODO about conformance testing of *.c (insofar as is possible
within the limits of our testsuite framework), and a note in HACKING
to mention that we should take advantage of strl* consistently
throughout libltd now that we have them at our disposal.

Cheers,
        Gary.
