lowdown not helped by snowleopardfixes

lowdown uses it's own completely unique methods for configure and library function replacements, I see.

It clears out the LDFLAGS during the build, ergo the -lsnowleopardfixes not being honoured

it also replaces some functions on it's own, so there might be collisions if -lsnowleopardfixes was patched into the build script link flags.

For a port like this, the best I could offer would be to patch in the missing strndup definition into compats.c

the author probably wouldn't mind adding strndup to the other functions he tests for -- he already checks for lots of them.

a definition for strndup.c is here <https://github.com/kencu/snowleopardfixes/blob/master/strndup.c> but requires strnlen as well to function.

Sorry this is not one of the "drop in" fixes that the PG usually offers...
