[webkit-dev] strcmp result checking

As current style rules say that tests for zero/non-zero should all be done without equality comparisons. However, this rule can cause significant readability problems if blindly applied to strcmp: if (!strcmp(string, "foobar")) naturally reads as "does not equal".

I think that this strcmp should be an exception to this rule. Current WebCore uses both forms, with the one I propose being slightly more common.
