Easy to do.  The code does very little memory allocation.  It could
actually use alloca for everything but the buffer which it returns,
although of course alloca raises its own issues.  The interface
defines the return buffer as being allocated by malloc, but it would
be easy to change the code to support passing in a buffer and a size.
