   Well I looked at my K&R book this morning and discovered that
the ! operator does not do what I thought it should.  Sorry about that.

Therefore !strcmp(some,other) should work like advertised.  I am 
still convinced that this is a very unclear way to state the 
expected condition.  But it is unlikely to be a bug in GCC.
