Actually, these functions have been const-char-*, const-svn_string_t-*, and
const-svn_stringbuf_t-*. I decided in the end to keep them as
stringbuf because all other path functions are so, but with full
intent to change them the minute their use cases start to lean to
another thing.

So, here's the deal.

I'd love for them to use svn_string_t, but I was trying to find a
function that would create an svn_string_t from an existing char *
that *didn't* duplicate the allocation. But then you'd have a
structure allocated in one pool and its data allocated who-knows-where.
Perhaps its callers should just instantiate an svn_string_t on the
stack and hand-populate its members?

Oh yeah. const on pass-by-value was dumb. As for the unsigned,
aren't we encoding a hex value between 0 and 255, not between -128 and
127? But as you pointed out later, str->data is probably signed anyway.

Mmmm...yes.

Okey dokey.
