ok i didn't look into the code so i don't know (just ask the authors), 
but for me it seems there are many overlapping code in these projects 
(dnssec, resolver, lookup etc). now it seems there are 3 separate 
project nsd, unbound and ldns which have many common part (eg: drill, 
unbound-host) and still have different source. at least a common lib 
makes me happy:-)
just a very quick look:
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/svn/trunk/compat/malloc.c
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/ldns/svn/trunk/compat/malloc.c
http://unbound.nlnetlabs.nl/svn/trunk/compat/malloc.c

ps. just a small note as i already ask it
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/pipermail/nsd-users/2006-November/000593.html
none of them has dynamic update:-(
