If the primary question is one of speeding up a piece of code with lots of
strcmp's, has anyone thought of this quick and easy solution: DFA's!
Some simple code will establish a 2-D array [N,128] (or 256, or whatever).
Traversal is straight forward enough. :->.
You could also construct a trie! I don't like these as well though...
