Something like glib could be used.  glib has a GString type as well  
as a bunch of container formats.

sprintf("%s%s","command","args");

The first string is a 'formatted' string (what the 'f' in sprintf  
stands for).  The each %s is replaced by the corresponding string  
that is passed into the function.  So "command" replaces the first %s  
and "args" replaces the second.
