I'd suggest to keep the patches mostly the same, but rename util_strncpy 
to util_strlcpy. That way, the name is aligned with the standard library 
function that many platforms have, and the code is still fully portable.

Keep in mind to adjust also the commit messages when you make the change.

Cheers,
Nicolai
