The original poster apparently is only interested in an equal/not equal
result from strcmp(), not the before/equal/after result that strcmp()
actually returns.  I'd like to expand the question a bit: I'm curious if
anyone has a method that actually speeds up strcmp() in the situtation
where you have to get the lexicographic ordering information back.  (Such
as when the strcmp() is used as the basis for comparison in a bsearch().)
