Once upon a time we had problems with taking a function pointer of
strcasecmp (to use as a comparator with string_list), so I wondered if
that might be part of why it's defined the way it is.

But the current definition is already inline:

And it seems we worked around this in de2f95ebed (mailmap: work around
implementations with pure inline strcasecmp, 2013-09-12). So I don't
think there is any blocker there.

(Though of course I have no idea on other portability questions around
_stricmp(); I'll leave that for Windows folks).
