OK.  I'm currently writing test rigs to check for obscure bugs, so expect
some code late this week/early next.  If anyone knows of existing (free)
code for testing implementations of string.h routines, I'd appreciate it if
you could e-mail me a pointer.

The performace so far seems good.  My versions of strcmp() and strcpy()
speed up Dhrystone 2.1 by 15% over SharedCLibrary (Risc PC 610, RISC OS,
Acorn C v4).  See news:<slrn55knf9.133.olly@mantis.co.uk> in
comp.sys.acorn.programmer for a bit more detail.
