The only way I can think of for these two prototypes to conflict is if 
someone's playing preprocessor games.  This is likely, since there is no 
universal standard for a case-insensitive string comparision function. 
Those are just two of several I've seen.  So, there's probably some 
macro somewhere like this:

#define STRCASECMP(s1,s2) strcmpi((s1),(s2))

You could probably fix this by figuring out Nethack's portability system 
and making it choose the right version of STRCASECMP (or whatever the 
program calls the macro).  But what I wonder is, why not use the native 
Win32 console version of Nethack?  That will work without fuss.
