I did not notice this recent addition...
Folks, there is *a lot* of software which embeds copies of md5.c: please 
try to convert it to use libbsd!
And how many of you still have copies of setproctitle.c around? Do you 
know that they probably come from sendmail? Clean up your old code!

If you have some old package with plain makefiles which needs to be 
converted to use libbsd then you can have a look at my openbsd-inetd 
package for inspiration.
