Is strncasecmp() portable? man page says "only" BSD 4.4 compliant.

Is it better to use G_tolcase() or G_str_to_lower() first? [I just
noticed those were duplicates. We should consolidate. G_str_to_lower()
is only 2 months old so the obvious choice for removal, but it does
have a better name.]

lib/gis/mapcase.c
lib/gis/strings.c

oh, I see in lib/gis/strings.c we have a G_strcasecmp().


We still should merge G_tolcase() and G_str_to_lower() though.

I see lib/gis/mapcase.c defines tolower() and toupper(). As those are
both standard ANSI C fns, they are redundant and should be removed?
