* portability

At first glance, uses strlcat and strlcpy.  Didn't look further.

* dedication to portability

Only plans to support *BSD.

* source code availability

Didn't find anything outside NetBSD CVS and the CVS rep where they got it

* documentation

Related to above.

* English support forum

Only Japanese mailing list available.
