Is TODO up-to-date?

[Collin Funk]

Hi,

Is the TODO file generally up-to-date? Now that I have my copyright
assignment done, maybe I can find some stuff to hack on.

Specifically, are these items still true?

> generally use gnulib for portability more than we use today:

>  - ruserok/wtmp stuff

I think it would be nice to use more gnulib stuff. Less dealing with
preprocessor conditionals and the sort. I know gnulib has some
<sys/socket.h> stuff and inet_ntop/inet_ptoa but I haven't looked into
that area much.

Also, I have attached two patches that modernize stuff to match
current gnulib. First, with the 'environ' module there is no need for
'extern char **environ'. It is handled in unistd.h by gnulib [1].

Second, now that the 'stdbool' module emulates C23, there is no need
to include stdbool.h. If the compiler doesn't support bool stuff as a
keyword the header is included in config.h.
