It was a bugfix: with strncmp it was returning a match if one string was 
shorter than the other but matched the first n characters. We needed to 
match the whole string.

What is the problem with using strcmp specifically?
I had a think about it and couldn't think of any reason not to use strcmp(), 
so I changed some occurences of strncmp() I had added in the past (blindly 
following the way it was done in other parts of the proj library).
