Apparently stricmp() is no longer in the library:

ClubLog.cpp:593:34: error: 'stricmp' was not declared in this scope
         if (!stricmp(field,"call")) {

I realize that stricmp() is non-standard.  Is this going to be the
situation going forward with 1.7.33+?  If so, what's the best
workaround?

Thanks - Jim

Use the standard strcasecmp() from <strings.h> instead.

More exact:  stricmp is still available as exported symbol, and it will
be available for a long time, to make sure existing executables continue
to run.  stricmp will just not be provided by the standard header files
anymore.

Thanks, Corinna!  I'll use strcasecmp() from now on.
