      Oh, bugger.

      <string.h> has memcpy() while <strings.h> has bcopy(), and so forth.

        This turned out fun as my sysadmin moved /usr/local/include completely out of the way to compile, and then I got a phone call Friday afternoon after I left the office because that broke a lot of things. :)
