Bug 1061: Please add memmem() (and maybe wmemmem())  OPEN
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1061     

Martin has completed his action to forward to The Open Group.
The response from The Open Group was that AIX, HP-UX and Solaris
engineering have no objections to aligning with BSD and GNU behavior.
Andrew will take the action to confirm that The Open Group will
sponsor the interface.

Update: Andrew has completed the action, and the responses are positive, so we should assume this is sponsored by The Open Group.
