Yuk... I'm totally sick of this proliferation of portable
runtimes which usually turn out to be incompatible with each
other (license-wise or just because of conflicting definitions
and types).  To say nothing about the performance cost of adding
a useless layer.

We have APR, NSPR, glib, QtCore, libiberty, and a myriad of
others.

What's wrong with POSIX + SUSv3 and their friends?  All modern
OSes support them by now and there are even good implementations
for Windows.
