Have you seen strlcpy and strlcat?
I think it's already in OpenBSD and NetBSD, and will most likely make an
entrance in FreeBSD 3.3.
A simple
#ifdef HAVE_STRLCPY
return strlcpy(dest, src, n);
#endif
seems like a good idea at-a-glance.
For the man page:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi
(Select OpenBSD 2.5, and strlcat)
