I think we better leave this be for now.  nlm/* builds gdbserve.exe, 
a gdbserver-like remote protocol debug agent for NetWare systems.  

The NetWare C library NLM has str{n,}icmp() but not str{n,}casecmp().
While we could probably link with libiberty, I wouldn't go down that
road unless it's considered a high priority and there's some means for
testing the results.  When I last worked with nlm/*, it was rather 
fragile.  I don't think the years of neglect since then have done it 
any favors.
