right, then some other commonly used but not locked-by-standards place.
libutil? libbsdstuffnotstandardizedbyposix ?

Again my point (perhaps lost in the initial thread) was that the number
of one-file libraries used in our base code is increasing:
	libsbuf, libjail, libbsdxml...
to me, individual files are library members, there is no need to
dedicate an entire library to a library member
