Fwd: error during make

[John Brooks]

Forwarding this to the list because i'm not sure it all got through. The
example doc/examples/ex-cxx.cpp does not directly include the C header
string.h and uses strlen, which can apparently cause a compile error on some
systems (where the C++ headers are not including string.h themselves).
Including string.h directly solved the issue.

Thanks, that solves the issue. I was a bit hesitant to modify the
sources at this stage of my "knowledge".
