Hey, hey, I'm also not stupid, but thanks for implying that :P  If I
had intended to commit what I whipped up quickly, I would be checking
it pretty carefully.  It seems I'm catching a lot of flak on not
having "audited" what was basically a "proof of concept", showing the
kind of thing I'd rather have.  I like the precomputed one (add all
argv[] strlen's and malloc that) better, anyway.
