We could add a compatibility header file in EPICS base. The idea is to
use a native stlcat/strlcpy where available (e.g. via libbsd for Linux)
and add our own implementation for platforms that don't have it. If and
when platforms (OS+compiler) decide to support these functions we can
drop our own implementation.
