Few lines up there is rationale for malloc/free and by association
strdup. Switching to OPENSSL_[strdup|malloc|free] goes against it. On
Windows one can/should switch to _strdup (it also solves another real
yet subtle problem, not just warning). If lack of strdup is concern
(relly? which Fedora, BSD, Linux can it be?), then one might have to
consider local few-liner implementation. And conf_sap.c suffers from
this too...
