Yes, you're right. The code should check for an empty string, and disable
the feature if that's the case. Right now, it just does a strncmp()
with a length of 0, which will always match. I think this should also
use mystrncasecmp() instead, and mystrcasestr() to find the end, so that
it won't care if the tags are upper or lower case. Objections?

Aw, man! This is another discrepancy between the documentation and the
source. The source expects noindex_end, but the docs say noindex_stop.
Someone was very tired when writing the documentation updates! :-P

More bugs? Naww! ;-) Keep us posted if you find more. Thanks.
