It was originally in sys/i386/i386/userconfig.c because it didn't seem
likely at the time that it would be useful elsewhere, and the right way
to maintain libkern was even less clearer than it is now.

I told phk that it should have been put there.

We also have a copy of strtol() in libstand.  I think libstand should be
under /sys and merged with libkern at the source level.  It needs the
same ctype hacks.
