 * Name: strverscmp
 *
 * Description:
 *   Often one has files jan1, jan2, ..., jan9, jan10, ... and it feels
 *   wrong when ls orders them jan1, jan10, ..., jan2, ..., jan9. In
 *   order to rectify this, GNU introduced the -v option to ls, which is
 *   implemented using versionsort, which again uses strverscmp().
 *
 *   Thus, the task of strverscmp() is to compare two strings and find the
 *   "right" order, while strcmp finds only the lexicographic order. This
 *   function does not use the locale category LC_COLLATE, so is meant
 *   mostly for situations where the strings are expected to be in ASCII.
 *
 *   What this function does is the following. If both strings are
 *   equal, return 0. Otherwise, find the position between two bytes with
 *   the property that before it both strings are equal, while directly
 *   after it there is a difference. Find the largest consecutive digit
 *   strings containing (or starting at, or ending at) this position.
 *   If one or both of these is empty, then return what strcmp would have
 *   returned (numerical ordering of byte values). Otherwise, compare both
 *   digit strings numerically, where digit strings with one or more
 *   leading zeros are interpreted as if they have a decimal point
 *   in front (so that in particular digit strings with more leading zeros
 *   come before digit strings with fewer leading zeros). Thus, the
 *   ordering is 000, 00, 01, 010, 09, 0, 1, 9, 10.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   The strverscmp() function returns an integer less than, equal to, or
 *   greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be earlier than,
 *   equal to, or later than s2.
