 126 Given a pointer to a string, parse the string extracting fields
 127 separated by whitespace and optionally enclosed within either single
 128 or double quotes (which are stripped off), and build a vector of
 129 pointers to copies of the string for each field.  The input string
 130 remains unchanged.  The last element of the vector is followed by a
 131 @code{NULL} element.
 132
 133 All of the memory for the pointer array and copies of the string
 134 is obtained from @code{malloc}.  All of the memory can be returned to the
 135 system with the single function call @code{freeargv}, which takes the
 136 returned result of @code{buildargv}, as it's argument.
 137
 138 Returns a pointer to the argument vector if successful.  Returns
 139 @code{NULL} if @var{sp} is @code{NULL} or if there is insufficient
 140 memory to complete building the argument vector.
 141
 142 If the input is a null string (as opposed to a @code{NULL} pointer),
 143 then buildarg returns an argument vector that has one arg, a null
 144 string.
 145
 146 @end deftypefn
 147
 148 The memory for the argv array is dynamically expanded as necessary.
 149
 150 In order to provide a working buffer for extracting arguments into,
 151 with appropriate stripping of quotes and translation of backslash
 152 sequences, we allocate a working buffer at least as long as the input
 153 string.  This ensures that we always have enough space in which to
 154 work, since the extracted arg is never larger than the input string.
 155
 156 The argument vector is always kept terminated with a @code{NULL} arg
 157 pointer, so it can be passed to @code{freeargv} at any time, or
 158 returned, as appropriate.
