You have to create a new array of pointers. As rikki cattermole
has pointed out, you also have to null-terminate the individual
strings, and pass the amount of pointers in a separate

Although, if it's known that the array was populated with
literals, toStringz isn't needed. String literals are
automatically nul terminated.
