libsafe revitalized

Hi there!

Being an old Slackware user I discovered this tool a long time ago and find it useful. If you know about it or want a(nother) layer of defense against stack overflow attacks, you're invited to use it. It protects known unsafe C functions like strcpy. It will not protect against custom created functions.
If there's anyone interested in this library (libsafe), I patched the PKGUILD and Makefile so now it builds ok. More about this library can be read here: http://www.research.avayalabs.com/gcm/u … ectDetails
You can find the PKGBUILD it here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13598 .

If you find it useful, please use it, report any bug reports and of course, vote it!
