i had a bit of time today so i made an attempt to convert all the strings.h
style references to.  i did 90% of the work via a perl script and double
checked the patch by hand.  the bcmp to memcmp seemed too easy.  the code still
compiles and runs correctly (atleast the client side) on linux.

there are a few spots that probably still need fixed, like memcpy being
defined to memcpy in the nt param files.  in afsweb they defined memmove
to bcopy.  i made it memcpy, but most systems should have memmove.

since the patch is rather large (14k00 lines) i am putting it up at 
ftp://ftp.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/pub/chas/openafs/bstring.diff

would this be an acceptable solution to the string.h/strings.h problem?
