From 9befac470b4cfad529032dbcffcb71242ec71f91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Shawn Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006 00:16:31 -0400
Subject: [PATCH] Replace uses of strdup with xstrdup.

Like xmalloc and xrealloc xstrdup dies with a useful message if
the native strdup() implementation returns NULL rather than a
valid pointer.

I just tried to use xstrdup in new code and found it to be missing.
However I expected it to be present as xmalloc and xrealloc are
already commonly used throughout the code.

[jc: removed the part that deals with last_XXX, which I am
 finding more and more dubious these days.]
