Subject:   Replacement for strptime(3) ?

I'm looking for a replacement for strptime in order to complete a port.
The calls in the source code look like this :

strptime(date,"%d-%b-%Y", &locTime);

>From what I can tell, strptime is the inverse of strftime, taking a
string in ctime(3) format, a format specifier, and returning a time_t
struct.  

Unfortunately, the call is not including in the standard FreeBSD libc.

If it's available as a standard add-on library, I'd be happy to port that
and make the new port rely on it.  Otherwise, since there is only one call
to strptime and the format specifier is static, I could write a relatively
simple wrapper for it.

Any help is appreciated.
