+  Cross platform interface to POSIX function strdup().
+
+  The fl_strdup() function returns a pointer to a new string which is
+  a duplicate of the string 's'. Memory for the new string is obtained
+  with malloc(3), and can be freed with free(3).
+
+  Implementation:
+    - POSIX: strdup()
+    - WinAPI: _strdup()
