/*%<
 * Parse the null-terminated string 'string' containing a base 'base'
 * integer, storing the result in '*uip'.  
 * The base is interpreted
 * as in strtoul().  Unlike strtoul(), leading whitespace, minus or
 * plus signs are not accepted, and all errors (including overflow)
 * are reported uniformly through the return value.
 *
 * Requires:
 *\li	'string' points to a null-terminated string
 *\li	0 <= 'base' <= 36
 *
 * Returns:
 *\li	#ISC_R_SUCCESS
 *\li	#ISC_R_BADNUMBER   The string is not numeric (in the given base)
 *\li	#ISC_R_RANGE	  The number is not representable as the requested type.
