I just applied a patch to strings.h which removes the "#include <locale.h>'
and right afterwards it occured to me that I should better have started
by discussing it first.  Oops.

The idea was this:  locale.h is only included to fetch the type locale_t
for the declaration of the new SUSv4 locale-aware functions
strcasecmp_l/strncasecmp_l.  IMHO it doesn't make sense to pull in
locale.h at this point in time, since locale_t doesn't yet exist, just
as the strcasecmp_l/strncasecmp_l functions.  Since the '#include
<locale.h>' doesn't fulfill it's only sense, it's just useless to
include it.

I hope that makes sense...
