Again this is just a handful of functions, that IMO are best not put into
libc.  Take the dl*() functions.  They're not in fbsd's libc, but they're
ing glibc.  Doesn't mean they're not easily available.  Hell gettext *is*
a port.

Not every app is going to need to be internationalized, not every app
*should* be penalized.  If you think it'd be easier to port the whole
glibc than to port a hand ful of functions, nobody is stopping you :)
