Hello,

One item in the list found in docs/TODO was replace getcpy() with
strdup().  So I've added a subroutine to sbr/utils.c called "mh_xstrdup"
with which I've replaced all calls to getcpy() and to strdup(), except
those in sbr/mf.c; the file sbr/mf.c defines its own getcpy(), so I've
left it alone.  See the attached patch.

Michael
