The awkward interface for strtok as extended to strtok_r is why
we (Keith Bostic and I) came up with what's now strsep. Of course
strsep is not standard and has its own issues but it can be used
to parse $PATH for instance, or old-style /etc/passwd entries.

In this case (tests) it's probably not that important to be efficient
anyway,
