fix for failed Gconvert detection under C++

For example:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.daily-build.reports/2008/10/msg61028.html

The problem being that the test try.c isn't valid C++.

The attached patch:

- changes the K&R function definition into a prototype, since other
test code uses prototypes

- moves detection of string.h further up, so $i_string can be included
if available for strcmp().

- fixes the stdlib define in the test code

I guess this will need some re-work into metaconfig.

Tony
