Which platform is missing one of these?  Most implementations have a
pretty full-featured <string.h> these days; and even on platforms like
cygwin, where <string.h> is not POSIX compliant because it does not honor
alternate locales, the functions still exist and work as if LC_ALL=C.  But
if you identify which platform is missing which function, we can probably
improve the module to serve as a replacement.
