 I was wondering the other day if we shouldn't just do a single
 svn_stringbuf_ensure here. Either always do one at the beginning:
 
    svn_stringbuf_ensure(retstr, strlen (path) * 3) + 1);
 
    (This is worst case -- each char is replaced by three (%XX), and
     then room for the NULL at the end)
 
 Or, do it the first time we find a char that needs replacing (someone
 check my math):
 
    svn_stringbuf_ensure(retstr, copied + strlen (path + copied) * 3) + 1);
 
 Anyway, just an idea.

In apr_xml_quote_string, I coded a two-pass algorithm. One pass to count
the special chars, do the alloc, then a second pass to make the changes. The
neat part is that if no changes are necessary, it just returns the input
string without an alloc/copy.
