Re: strtol, strtoul on old platforms

[Bruno Haible]

The platforms x functions matrix reveals that all current portability targets
have the strtol() and strtoul() functions. So here's the proposed patch that
will exclude the corresponding files and configure checks from packages that
don't specify --with-obsolete.

Note that this patch relies on the patches [3/7], [4/7], [5/7] from Paul in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-04/msg00238.html>.
