If you strive for efficiency, you probably shouldn't be using
strcat etc. at all since in almost all real situations you can
know the lengths of the strings at minimum cost and do memcpy()
instead of strcat().

If you want a clean, readable and secure solution, you can for example
create a vararg function like this (I remember seeing something like
that in Apache):

	newstring = pstrcat(str1, str2, ..., strn, NULL)
