Hi Jay,
I've got a working version of ulimit which I ported from FreeBSD. It is
fully compliant and inline with the SUSv3 standard. However, this
function, like quite a few others, are typically found in the "gen"
subdir of all the *BSD libc's. It makes no sense cluttering up the
stdio/stlib dirs with excessive files when it is clear that other libc's
have neatly stowed functions like these in the gen dir. I await your
comments before submitting my patch.
Cheers,
Nicholas
