We can.  The macros that udev has are not overly efficient - they just
use "strlen()" to ensure proper buffer space.  But we can do the same.

Attached patch adds a "strcat_len()" macro, which is similar to the safe
"strcat()" that udev has and then converts all "strncat()" users to it.

Seems right.
