       fgetln(3). Removed the unfortunate dep_strlcpy.h.
     * 6 August, 2001: [roam] Added dep_strlcpy.h to work around
       strlcpy(3) dependence.

       slurping! Yay! :)

       envdir name formation.
     * 5 August, 2001: [roam] Introduced general output routines and, in

     * 5 August, 2001: [roam] Slightly optimized the directory suffix
       extraction.

       file.
     * 5 August, 2001: [roam] Reworked usage() to use an array instead of
       a single long string.
     * 5 August, 2001: [roam] This works! Well, sort of.. No config file
       parsing, a hardwired depth of 2 for the extracted directory name
       and a hardwired envdir(1) environment processor.
