Any chance to put libulog and other 'extension' libraries together
(I would say into libc but perhaps that's too much).

There are several apps which only relied on libc that now require
-lulog, -ljail, -lsbuf, -lbsdxml (libexpat)
They are all minuscule, 1-2 files each, but make life harder for
developers to track the dependencies.
Also, things like lsbuf are really useful in general, so having
that widely available would be a good incentive for people to
use it instead of rolling their own 'dynamic string manipulation'
code again and again
