* portability
At first glance, uses strlcat and strlcpy. Didn't look further.
* dedication to portability
Only plans to support *BSD.
* source code availability
Didn't find anything outside NetBSD CVS and the CVS rep where they got it
from.
* documentation
Related to above.
* English support forum
Only Japanese mailing list available.
If you can address these things we might have a winner, otherwise we might
have to fork it.
