Well, I didn't intend to get rid of it everywhere. But if it's the source of a
bug, and you have a fix that eliminates the use of strtok...

I think any new dependencies would looked upon unfavorably.

In that case, your best bet is to submit a bug report, and then cross your
fingers. [but don't hold your breath! ;-) ]
Please continue to breathe.
strtok() is one function that would be very nice to use LESS.
It in fact is in a list of functions seen in the oldest open
bug report. Please don't bump the bug report count. Please.
So think good thoughts, write clean patches, live free, etc.
