 *
 * Str should have enough allocated space for the replacement, no check
 * is made for this. Str and OldStr/NewStr should not overlap.
 * The empty string ("") is found at the beginning of every string.
 *
 * Returns: pointer to first location behind where NewStr was inserted
 * or NULL if OldStr was not found.
 * This is useful for multiple replacements, see example in main() below
 * (be careful not to replace the empty string this way !)
