DJGPP tries to incorporate functions from as many different compilers
as possible to ensure maximum portability.  For example, it has at
least three functions to do case-insensitive string compares, all of which
are identical except for the name (strcase, strcasecmp, and stricmp).
I don't know why your Unix compilers don't have strupr(), but I do know
that it is not an ANSI function.
