Subject: 24.3.93; Definition of strnicmp needed for Cygwin-w32 build
Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2014 14:16:03 -0400

Cygwin's /usr/include/string.h, which comes from newlib, contains a 
definition of strnicmp; this is needed for the Cygwin-w32 build.  That 
definition has recently been dropped from newlib, and so it will be gone 
in the next Cygwin release.  The following patch fixes the problem.  Is 
it OK for the release branch?
