A follow-up question. Can I do the analogue of realloc()?

I am trying to construct a list (in the Exim sense) and return it from
the dlfunc module. I don't know a priori how long the list will be or
how many elements.

I could just allocate a new string as I add each new element but that
has quadratic behavior.

I guess I could store the elements in a linked list and then concatenate
them all at once, but that seems like too much work :-P
