static library, header files, and docs for libite

Static library, header files, and documentation for libite.

Libite is a lightweight library of frog DNA. It can be used to fill the gaps in any dinosaur project. It holds useful functions and macros developed by both Finit and the OpenBSD project. Most notably the string functions: strlcpy(3), strlcat(3) and the highly useful *BSD sys/queue.h and sys/tree.h API's.

Libite is the frog DNA missing in GNU libc. However, -lite does not aim to become another GLIB! One noticeable gap in GLIBC is the missing _SAFE macros in the BSD sys/queue.h API — highly recommended when traversing lists to delete/free nodes.

The code is open sourced under a mix of the MIT/X11 license, the ISC license used by OpenBSD, and BSD licenses, all of them are extremely liberal and can be used freely in proprietary software if needed.
