To check, so far I've converted all strcmp uses with these:

git grep -l '!strcmp *('|xargs perl -pi -e 's/!strcmp( *)\(/STREQ$1(/g'
git grep -l 'strcmp *([^=]*== *0'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/\bstrcmp( *\(.*?\)) *== *0/STREQ$1/'
git grep -l 'strcmp *([^=]*!= *0'|xargs perl -pi -e 's/\bstrcmp( *\(.*?\)) *!= *0/STRNEQ$1/g'

git grep -l '!(strcmp *('|xargs perl -pi -e 's/!\(strcmp( *\(.*?\))\)/STREQ$1/'

git grep -l 'strcmp *('|xargs perl -pi -e 's/\bstrcmp( *\()/STRNEQ$1/g'

Next (later ;-) is to convert strncmp uses and compare with yours.
