Hi Ton,
can you tell me, what exactly should do this string library. What 
functions should be written? Should it be replacement of functions from 
<string.h>, using our famous MEM_allocN_len(); ... something like that?

BLI_strcpy(char *dest, const char *src);
BLI_strncpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
BLI_strcat(char *dest, const char *src);
BLI_strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
...
