Nice!

A couple days ago I relaxed the copyright on the gnulib module to
LGPLv2+, so you can go ahead and uncomment that, #include "verify.h",
and add "verify" to the list in bootstrap.

Thanks for shortening long lines ;-)

That should be sizeof(needle)-1.
Otherwise, if someone nasty gave you input ending with
"char device redirected to", the strncpy above would start
reading just past the NUL at the end of "haystack".

Since "tmp" has type "char", this causes trouble in an environment
where "char" is a signed type.  When *tmp is larger than 127, it gets
sign-extended, and isspace can misbehave on the large negative number
(isspace is not defined for such values).  Instead, do it like this:

      if (isspace(*(unsigned char *)tmp)) {

or better, using the to_uchar function (from coreutils):

      if (isspace(to_uchar(tmp))) {

  /* Convert a possibly-signed character to an unsigned character.  This is
     a bit safer than casting to unsigned char, since it catches some type
     errors that the cast doesn't.  */
  static inline unsigned char to_uchar (char ch) { return ch; }

I just happened upon this one, but have audited the rest of the code
for similar problems.  To get an idea of the size of this task,
I got the list of is* functions from the man page and did this:
(tolower and toupper have the same limitation)

    re=$(man isspace|grep is.....,.is|sed 's/ -.*//'|tr -s ', \n' \| \
         |sed 's/^|//;s/|$//')
    git grep -E "\b($re|tolower|toupper)\b"

Here's the output:

ChangeLog:        Unlike in qemud.c, here we allow trailing "isspace", and in
ChangeLog:      * src/virsh.c: Remove use of _GNU_SOURCE / isblank.

src/stats_linux.c:            if (!isdigit(path[4]) || path[4] == '0' ||
src/stats_linux.c:            if (p && (!isdigit(*p) || *p == '0' ||
src/stats_linux.c:            if (!isdigit(path[3]) || path[3] == '0' ||
src/util.c:#define TOLOWER(Ch) (isupper (Ch) ? tolower (Ch) : (Ch))
src/util.c:        while (*p == '0' && isxdigit (p[1]))
src/util.c:        while (*q == '0' && isxdigit (q[1]))
src/util.c:        if (!isxdigit(*str))
src/virsh.c:            if (!isdigit (cpulist[i])) {
src/virsh.c:            else if (!isdigit (cpulist[i])) {
src/virsh.c:                && isalnum((unsigned char) *(p + 2))) {

So I've just posted a patch to fix those.
