[mapserver-dev] Need for strrstr function...

[Steve Lime]

Beauty, I didn't even think of code search. That'll work. I'll add it and handle like we do strdup with configure options to detect the presence of the function on OSes where it already exists.

Is anyone aware of, or have used an implementation that could be legally included with MapServer in mapstring.c? I've found a couple but one had no license or copyright (the author's email address is given) and the other had copyright assigned to the FSF so I assume it's GPL.

Google Code Search finds some stuff:

The first result is an strrstr() implementation which seems to be 
covered by a MIT license:
