The six months between:

revision 1.1
date: 1993/10/27 22:00:50;  author: jtc;  state: Exp;
Did a ``make copy-to-libkern'' from libc to copy libc files to libkern.
Checking them in to make people happy.

when it looks like libkern was made.

Also, I guess it would make ddb more self-contained. i.e. so it can work
on Mach and *BSD, w/o depending on the host kernel's facilities. Yes,
_our_ strcpy does the right thing, but does (did) every other kernels??
