hmm, we generally don't do that in ports. patches like that are quite
invasive and hard to handle when updating, so if done at all are better
off going upstream rather than being done in ports. (also we've had bugs
introduced in ports before, sometimes quite nasty, in sprintf/etc
conversion patches).

that point in guide.html specifically refers to network servers (though
for a network server, seeing loads of unsafe string functions would more
likely be a reason not to have it in ports at all rather than to patch
it).

the rest looks alright but I'd orefer to drop the string patches.
