According to bug 238, several string manipulation functions that we use
are not ansi standard. I did some checking, and here are the platforms on
which we use the functions in question:

strdup
BEOS Unix QNX

stricmp, strnicmp
Win32 QNX

strcasecmp, strncasecmp
BEOS

Are these really not ansi standard? the compiler on linux is set to give
every warning possible, and it doesn't complain about strdup. What about
the other platforms? Does this need to be fixed?
By the way, this was in my ZAPing of the Release Practicies POW.
