I didn't do that for strncpy() yet because it was too invasive; I wanted 
to be able to test it out first, Also, the semantics are different, so 
anything using strncpy()'s return value would fail.

Same goes for strlen(): ast_strlen_zero() does not return the string 
length at all, it can't be used as a replacement for strlen().
