Mmm.  I'd wager they're just named something else.  I know I've changed a few as I've run across them, or maybe only a couple instances remaining.  There are standard C functions for exactly what those functions do, though: strtod(), strtol().  Vdeck's implementation actually just predates their standardization as part of C90 by a few years.  I'd cut Doug Gwyn a little bit of slack if it weren't for the other (terrible) coding conventions he used back then... ;)

There are other functions in comgeom (tools.c and f2a.c) that look
like they belong in libbu.

There are standard C functions (and libbn/vmath) functions for most of those too.  f2a() can probably be replaced with snprintf().
