Comment(by jmr@…):

 The big thing missing here is the copyright notices from the OpenBSD files
 these functions were taken from. We can't distribute the code without
 them. Also, it would probably be good to put these two functions in their
 own file to make it clear what the different copyright applies to.

 Using autoconf to detect whether the host system has these functions and
 using our own versions only if it does not would be nice, too.
