I disagree.
Some environments have strncasecmp and others don't. I usually define my
own version of strncasecmp and the implementation differs from environment
to environment. Where I can implement it in terms of strncasecmp I do so,
otherwise I hand-code it. No direct calls to strncasecmp appear in the
code since it is a portability issue.
