This patch adds some helpers to manage the strings allocation and
deallocation.
The function string_list_add(char *) adds the passed string to a list;
the function string_list_free() frees all the strings together.

	I'd prefer to have a check here firstly, like:
	if (!s)
		return s;

	Since this function is called directly without any check about 'char *s'
        in your next patch..
	
	Thanks,
	Wang

Thanks for the review.
However this check is not mandatory. Even if s == null, we store a null
pointer which is meaningless but not dangerous because it is legal to
free() a null pointer.

Form man 3 free:

	void free(void *ptr);
	[...]
	If ptr is NULL, no operation is performed.

In a next submit I will add your suggestions.
