The library is really a repository for code that could be useful in
several places in BIND 10 but which does not neatly fit into any
particular place.

There are some suggestions for content; the examples in the ticket are
some string parsing functions and stand-alone functions to read/write
numbers in network byte order. (The latter are copies of methods in the
InputBuffer and OutputBuffer class; however the functionality was needed
elsewhere, hence the extraction into stand-along functions.)

It can wait.  It's really a refactoring to encourage code reuse.
