No, I don't agree. We should use configure.in to test for the presence
of header files and then do things like:
#ifdef HAVE_STRINGS_H
#include <strings.h>
#endif
For strings.h I don't see the point in making it conditional really, unless
we're going to do the same for every single other header we include. The
strings.h header is always present on Linux. In recent times stuff that was
previously in strings.h has moved to string.h, but they're still in the
original header too. So we should always include both string.h & strings.h
for maximum portability.
Dan.
