I don't want to get into a huge discussion about this. But, to address
your issue:
>Take, for example, the file nmh-1.5/sbr/mts.c, function LocalName().
Yes, this is one of unfortunately a bazillion examples where nmh gets
it wrong, a product of 1970's-era C coding. But my objection to the
use of the strl* functions is that they are not part of POSIX, and we
can't guarantee that they're available on all platforms. That means an
autoconf test and/or substitution functions have to be written, and in
my mind that shouldn't be done unless there is a very good reason and no
other option. The strn* functions are part of POSIX, so I'd rather use
them; they are the most portable.
