I checked that, at least, I tried substituting it to see if strcasecmp() would 
work. It didn't. What I'm getting at though, is how strict is TCC's C? As TCC 
can compile itself, I thought it would be strict, maybe to the point that Lua 
is strict: ANSI C wherever possible for best compatibilty with many platforms. 
Neither stricmp() or strcasecmp() is ANSI C.

For the record, Griska's method is the first thing I wanted, and tried. I only 
settled for a single placement of an iterative case forcer because I was told 
there was no dedicated function for it in C. So I guess I'm not alone in 
thinking TCC's C isn't as strict as I (we) first assumed. I also did what I did 
precisely because it was strict ANSI C and I thought that was preferred.
