This is a proposal to leverage errno more and propagate errors back to the user with the classic err() and warn() family of BSD functions. They format error/warn messages as: "progname: your formatted string: %s", your args, strerror(errno), thus providing a consistent error or warning style to the program.
Note: this patch overlaps overlaps with the previous segfault patch submitted earlier.
