>Description:

string.h defines a number of nonstandard routines unless _ANSI_SOURCE
is defined.  It should also not define them if _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try compiling a POSIX-compliant program (like ETET) which includes a
replacement for a function like strcasecmp().  You'll probably get a
function prototype mismatch (mainly because FreeBSD uses const char *,
while a POSIX program is likely to declare it with char *).

>Fix:
	
Apply this one-line patch:
