I've taken strlcpy() from the OpenBSD CVS without attribution.  Is this
allowed?  If it is, how should it be stated?

Please include full copyright information.

Where should this information go?  Just above the function
safe_strncpy(), or at the top of path.c?  I believe path.c is GPL, so
can this be mixed freely with BSD licensed code?  Should I put
safe_strncpy() into a seperate file as with strlcpy()?

Yes...  Or you could avoid all of this by using a GPL'd version, like
the one from the Linux kernel (in lib/string.c).
