This raises the interesting question of whether we should expect a C90
_library_ from the host system.  If we do, then for instance we can
assume the existence of stdlib.h and string.h; we need not bother
including strings.h nor memory.h; we need not check in configure for
any C90 specified library function, nor provide fallback prototypes.

As far as I know we haven't decided on a definitive answer to this
question.
