Subject: [PATCH] Use proper strbuf API, and also simplify cmd_data code.

From: Pierre Habouzit <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 16:01:14 +0200

This patch features the use of strbuf_detach, and prevent the programmer
to mess with allocation directly. The code is as efficent as before, just
more concise and more straightforward.
