strdup and strndup are not defined by the C standard, so it should be
not be surprising if they are not declared in <string.h>. Of course,
strdup is extremely common at least on Unix systems, so it probably
is declared in <string.h>. However, strndup is not as common, I think,
so it might well be missing.

(Sorry, I haven't time to check whether there may be something funny
with the way autoconf tests for strndup.)
