(That issue about strdup() on Windows is still a mystery to me, anyway..) You 
can certainly now rely on functions in the public API of GDAL <= 2.0 to be 
unconditionaly available.

Like MapServer PostGIS vs OGR PG, MSSQL2008 vs OGR MSSQLSpatialial, etc ? That 
could be considered but I think MapServer backends have probably tunings / 
particularities that cannot make a direct replacement by OGR drivers work out 
of the box.
