Figure out where libbsd went?

When we looked at the current approach (where Murray dropped his local copies
of strlcat/strlcpy) we surveyed all the major distros and they had it. IMO,
using a system libbsd is a much better idea, so I think step 1 is figure out
why it's not available for CentOS 7 (IIRC, it was for CentOS 6).
