Hey, I've got a really hoopy idea.

Many years ago I wrote a safe mkargv() function, that takes a string and
returns a pointer to an argv list based on the string, dynamically
allocating and reallocating the list as it grows, using any terminator
you want.

How about I donate it, and a bunch of similar routines, to FreeBSD.

Let me dig it up and prettify it. It's just what the doctor ordered.
