Subject: Add xdr_sizeof() support?

Hi,

We've had a function implementation for xdr_sizeof(3), but never
added in libc. NetBSD imported our xdr_sizeof() into their libc:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2011/07/04/msg024213.html

I was just wondering if there was a particular reason not to add it?
