Bryan,
Thanks. The license looks fine.

Fine. The main thing is to figure out where you want to park your copy of
those files so that anyone else working on the Mac port can stick them in
the same spot.
If you plan to use the library pretty much as is, then it should probably
wind up as a peer module to the abi tree (like expat, wv, etc.) Or, if you
plan to do enough modifications to the code that it's really more of a fork,
then they'd belong in the abi tree -- either as portions of the util
implementation, or as Mac-specific module in abi/src/other.
As I mentioned before, I have no objection to checking working code into the
CVS if it'll help get the Mac port moving.
That's what CVS is for, right? ;-)
