I'd really rather keep the "== 0" comparison for strcmp(), because IMHO
!strcmp() reads like "the strings do not compare the same" and is confusing.

Likewise, I'd rather keep comparisons == 0 or != 0 for cases where the
variable is an actual number instead of just a return code or a pointer.

I don't think we need to be totally dogmatic about removing every comparison
with 0 in all of the code, as that can reduce readability in some cases.

I know this patch has already landed, and it isn't the end of the world
either way, but just wanted to forestall similar changes being made through
the rest of the code.

Cheers, Andreas
