OK, just replace with #include <string.h> - cups/string defines
emulation functions for string functions that aren't available on
all platforms - MacOS X has them all...

That said, I highly recommend using the CUPS DDK rastertopclx driver
instead of rastertohp - it supports all HP PCL variants and PJL
commands...
