The following two patches clean "connect.c" up using "add_to_string" 
from "rsh.c". The code is still longer, but there is no leak and it may be 
better to die with an error message than to truncate a too long command.

Shortlog:
	[PATCH 1/2] Move add_to_string to "quote.c" and make it extern.
	[PATCH 2/2] Fix a memory leak in "connect.c" and die if command too
long.

Diffstat:
 connect.c |   17 ++++++++++++++---
 quote.c   |   29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 quote.h   |    6 ++++++
 rsh.c     |   29 -----------------------------
