The odd thing with this one was, the switch from strdup to _strdup
should have occurred with the patch from Issue 4488 occurred. For some
reason, the text substitution was not occurring, even after including
the header "openssl/e_os.h" in conf_lib.c.
I'm probably missing some other interaction among the headers.
For completeness, below is the thrust of the 4488 patch. If
Microsoft's compiler is from Visual Studio 2003 or above, then follow
Microsoft's recommendations reported in the warning.
