glib string question

[john giorgio hart bbk ac uk]

Hi all, 

I've got used to strccpy() and strecpy() on my Sun. These functions copy
strings, interpreting (or escaping) C-style '\' sequences such as "\n" etc.
They are very handy for writing interpreters that use C-type string literal
conventions.

I can't find an equivalent on RedHat (maybe just being very stupid), how about
adding them to glib? I can provide (extremely poor) implementations if that's
any help.

John
