Wrong wording - this file needs two headers: <strings.h> for (obsolete) 
bcmp (missing, which meant we were implementing the function without 
pulling in its declaration), but <string.h> for memcmp (already 
present).  So what you really did was:

bcmp.c: Include <strings.h> for declaration of bcmp.

Same problem with wording.

ACK.

ACK.

ACK to the four code hunks, though - so once the changelog is fixed up 
for the two typos, this looks good to go.
