It turns out that strchr may also not be available on some systems, so
I am working out how to do the autmake stuff to check for these three
functions, and supply my own implementations if necessary (strchr is
trivial, if it isn't there, index is). I noticed while trying to do
this that we use to different methods to check for functions, one
would be to define my own CURL_CHECK_FUNC_STRCHR in
m4/curl-functions.m4, which manaually goes through the steps needed to
check for the function, and the other is to use AC_CHECK_FUNCS, which,
as far as I can tell, does the same thing. Is there any reason to do
this the hard way?
