I can do it. How about using fnmatch() for those who have it and adding
a cut-down version for those who doesn't? E.g.

#ifdef HAVE_FNMATCH
#define Curl_hostmatch(pattern,name) fnmatch(pattern,name,FNM_NOCASE)
#else
extern int Curl_hostmatch (const char *, const char *);
#endif

And handle only FNM_NOCASE in Curl_hostmatch()

Two new tests for you to do in Configure.
