## usage: strcmp (s1, s2)
##
## Compare two strings. Trailing blanks are significant.

## WARNING: Unlike the C function of the same name, this function
## returns 1 for equal and zero for not equal. Why? To be compatible
## with Matlab, of course.
##
## Why doesn't this always return a scalar instead of vector with
## elements corresponding to the rows of the string array? To be
## compatible with Matlab, of course.
