A header file <string.h> for a distributed version of dLibs contains,
among other things, a following macro:

 #define bcopy  memcpy

This should be replaced with

 #define bcopy(source,dest,length)  memcpy((dest),(source),(length))

Note an order of arguments.  This is still not exactly right, since
memcpy returns 'dest' and bcopy returns some unknown integer, but it
should do in most situations when you will need this macro.

The above costed me some head scratching during a port of some code.
  Love y'a all
