/*

@deftypefn Extension char* concat (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2}, @dots{}, @code{NULL})

Concatenate zero or more of strings and return the result in freshly
@code{xmalloc}ed memory.  Returns @code{NULL} if insufficient memory is
available.  The argument list is terminated by the first @code{NULL}
pointer encountered.  Pointers to empty strings are ignored.

@end deftypefn

NOTES

	This function uses xmalloc() which is expected to be a front end
	function to malloc() that deals with low memory situations.  In
	typical use, if malloc() returns NULL then xmalloc() diverts to an
	error handler routine which never returns, and thus xmalloc will
	never return a NULL pointer.  If the client application wishes to
	deal with low memory situations itself, it should supply an xmalloc
	that just directly invokes malloc and blindly returns whatever
	malloc returns.

when you're extending an existing string or building up a string in a
