OpenBSD and NetBSD uses ``char *foo = "bar";'' We use ``char foo[] = bar";'' due to Mark's pickier lint. I am not going to change that line of our code. BUT the other BSD's cannot use `sizeof' because that will be 4 or 8, which is much less than the ?17? that `sizeof' would be for us. Thus have to use strlen(), and thus we WILL use strlen(). Go buy yourself a gigahertz Athlon (Duron if you're cheap) and find something REAL to worry about.
