 Yeah, my inclination on that specific point is to leave it. The
 existence of strings.h is an old bsdism that should not have been
 perpetuated -- regardless of what POSIX may currently say I suspect
 using it is more likely to break than not using it.
 
 Also at this point the best way to crosscheck stuff like this is to
 commit and watch pkgsrc-bulk for failure reports. :-/
