I think that last time this was discussed there were disagreements about
the API. On the other hand we are already using a version of it in the
openssh code in /usr/src/crypto/external/bsd/openssh/dist/strtonum.c, so
if you are going to bring a version of it in, remember to remove that one.
I don't have a problem with it.
