Subject: All of the things that confstr() returns are compile-time constants.
 It's silly to call sysctl() to get the value of _PATH_STDPATH from <paths.h>
 when we can just use it directly.  This greatly simplifies the
 implementation.  (This is also part of my grand scheme to get rid of sysctl's
 `user' category, which should never have been created.)

Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() as it has the exact semantics we want.
