strncpy appeared in V7 as far as I can tell. I can't find it in v6 or
earlier. I can't find any of the str functions in fact...

Also, there's a new libarchive-based tar as well that the BSDs are using
since it understands many other formats. It's largely replaced the gnutar
that had previously been in BSD.
