+This subsystem ensures that we can always use a certain core set of
+functions and types, that are either provided by the OS or by replacement
+functions / definitions in this subsystem. The aim is to try to stick
+to POSIX functions in here as much as possible. Convenience functions
+that are available on no platform at all belong in other subsystems
+(such as LIBUTIL).
+
+The following functions are guaranteed:
+
+ftruncate
+strlcpy
+strlcat
+mktime
+rename
+initgroups
+memmove
+strdup
+setlinebuf
+vsyslog
+timegm
