/*

NAME

        concat -- concatenate a variable number of strings

SYNOPSIS

        #include <varargs.h>

        char *concat (s1, s2, s3, ..., NULL)

DESCRIPTION

        Concatenate a variable number of strings and return the result
        in freshly malloc'd memory.

        Returns NULL if insufficient memory is available.  The argument
        list is terminated by the first NULL pointer encountered.  Pointers
        to empty strings are ignored.

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.
