xkbcomp broken - (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap

strdup doesn't like NULL strings, so xkbcomp may segfault when parsing xkb
files. There's a fair view callers in xkbcomp that use uStringDup and assume
it handles NULL strings, so just fixing the macro is the easy way out (see the
patch below).
Alan - any objections?
Alternatively, we could change all callers to pre-check.
