 While I agree with the above comments I still see that we have the
 following copies of the OpenBSD strtonum.c:
 	bioctl
 	gpioctl
 	sdiff
 	openssh
 	m4
 	tmux
 and 2 more uses:
 	pflogd
 	ftp-proxy
 
 So, let me make a different proposal:
 
 	put it in libutil, but make the prototype available
 	only with _OPENBSD_SOURCE
 
 Then we can merge the 6 copies in one place at least.
