Thanks for reposting.  In general, if anyone sees elsewhere something that
might be of interest to readers of this group, please either repost it or post 
a pointer to it.

One question about stringlib, though.  Is it POSIX compatible?  I would
like to start collecting a POSIX library for MINIX, and this would be a nice
start, if it is indeed compatible.  ANSI C library routines are also welcome.
