Another spring update

Hi folks,

Since the last time, not much in term of amount of updates but, since the 22th of May, I became a legit LLVM contributor with commit access, feeling the rise of responsibility coming with it :-). Starting to commit my own work, first a fix for the static code analysis part of C string functions and a little msan test fix. Baby steps if you will ... One day, when more confident, will start to review and commit other people work if necessary.

Apart of this, the usual ... either fixing softwares/libraries for FreeBSD or OpenBSD, lastly with radare2 toolset (get praised by many people involved into security and gave a try myself recently ... reputation well deserved), nvi2 most of them used both personally and professionally ...

Also, trying to push barony into freebsd ports tree, it seems to get some interest ... it s a matter of a committer taking care of it now ... we ll see how it goes. I wish turningwheel having more gamers from it, they deserve it.

Flourishing May

Hi folks,

Right into the spring now, since the last post there is also rapid changes here and there :
- Finally Barony, following up the 3.1.4 release (and its availability on GOG.com), had been imported into the OpenBSD ports tree, thanks to @bcallah, @thfr, and later on @solene for their tight collaboration so users of the future 6.4 release of OpenBSD will be able to play (if you re impatient, snapshots are always available). Import which led me to submit a PR for further improvements. The FreeBSD port is still under review.
- In the LLVM area, I nearly reached my goals whether it is into the sanitizer or the static analysis part ; even a little bit of LLDB if I can.
- Apart of these, did usual small contributions here and there, following up if X or Y still compile under our preferred BSD ...
- Back also to writing, still an article for BSDMag to finish hopefully before this summer.
