/* NAME
/*	vs_alloc(), VS_ADDCH()
/* SUMMARY
/*	auto-resizing string library
/* PACKAGE
/*	vstring
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include "vstring.h"
/*
/*	struct vstring *vs_alloc(len)
/*	int len;
/*
/*	int VS_ADDCH(vs, wp, ch)
/*	struct vstring *vs;
/*	char *wp;
/*	int ch;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	These functions and macros implement a small library for
/*	arbitrary-length strings that grow automatically when
/*	they fill up. The allocation strategy is such that there
/*	will always be place for the terminating null character.
/*
/*	vs_alloc() allocates storage for a variable-length string.
/*
/*	VS_ADDCH() adds a character to a variable-length string
/*	and automagically extends the string if fills up.
/*	\fIvs\fP is a pointer to a vstring structure; \fIwp\fP
/*	the current write position in the corresponding character
/*	array; \fIch\fP the character value to be written.
/*	Note that VS_ADDCH() is a macro that evaluates some
/*	arguments more than once.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	VS_ADDCH() returns zero if it was unable to dynamically
/*	resize a string.
/*
/*	vs_alloc() returns a null pointer in case of problems.
/* BUGS
/*	Auto-resizing may change the address of the string data in
/*	a vstring structure. Beware of dangling pointers.
