The one I don't regornice is strcasecmp and strncasecmp, but its just stricmp and strnicmp with other names isn't it? strdup is just a little bad, since it need a free call.
If stricmp and strnicmp is present on BEOS, it would be nice to change, but thats just me, I dont do BEOS, so I don't have a say.
