Hmm, what does this library provide that is required by mtree-netbsd not
available in glibc, libbsd and libmd? Perhaps even freebsd-glue?

I've skimmed over the functionality and it seems most of it is already
covered by those. If there's still stuff needed I'm always happy to add
it to libbsd or libmd as required!

Thanks,
